MY PRAIRIE GIRL, by                    
First Line: My prairie girl, though tanned of face
Last Line: My prairie girl.
Subject(s): Admiration; Girls; Prairies; Plains


My prairie girl, though tanned of face
And shy, has certain lovely grace
That comes from watching flowers blow
And seeing birds wing to and fro.
She's led me a right merry chase;
One day our fingers interlace;
The next, she's far away in space.
Sometimes I think I'll never know
My prairie girl.

I think I have a little place
Within her heart. There was a trace
Of sadness; when I turned to go,
Her eyes held tears in embryo.
From memory nothing can erase
My prairie girl.
