Heart of me, are you hearing The drum of hoofs in the rains? Over the Springtime plains I ride Knee to knee with Spring And glad as the summering sun that comes Galloping north through the zodiac! Heart of me, let's forget The plains death white and still, When lonely love through the stillness called Like a smothered stream that sings of Summer Under the snow on a Winter night. Now the frost is blown from the sky And the plains are living again. Lark lovers sing on the sunrise trail, Wild horses call to me out of the noon, Watching me pass with impish eyes, Gray coyotes laugh in the quiet dusk And the plains are glad all day with me. Heart of me, all the way My heart and the hoofs keep time, And the wide, sweet winds from the greening world Shout in my ears a glory song, For nearer, nearer, mile and mile, Over the quivering rim of the plains, Is the valley that Spring and I love best And the waiting eyes of you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO SONGS: 2 by CECIL DAY LEWIS DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI: 6.
