Subject(s): Sagebrush
First Line: I am sick for the sagebrush
Last Line: And the sagebrush once again.
Subject(s): Sagebrush
I am sick for the sagebrush,
For the great, gray sagebrush plain
And I would give my heart-blood
To ride through the sage again.
To feel it scratch my stirrup,
To smell it after the rain.
Oh, I would give the heart of me
For that bitter breath again.
Cattle, afar, on the phantom hills,
The wind through a tossing mane.
Christ! for a horse between my legs,
And the sagebrush once again.
