BUTTES IN SOUTH DAKOTA BADLANDS by HELEN KNIGHT GOODING

First Line: SEEN THROUGH THE MIST OF YEARS
Last Line: THE BUTTES REMAIN.
Subject(s): SOUTH DAKOTA;

Seen through the mist of years
A change in all appears;
The buttes remain.

The march of time goes on
As evening follows dawn.
Old ways forever gone;
The buttes remain.

Young dreams have felt the frost
In fragments drear, or lost
Castles in Spain—
Old friends on far seas tossed;
The buttes remain.
