First Line: Over the ecru summer grass
Last Line: A prairie jenny lind.
Subject(s): Lind, Jenny (1820-1887); Prairies; Wind; Plains
Over the ecru summer grass,
Where the low wild rose is pinned,
A clear soprano aria
From the sweet throat of the wind.
Tremble of thrills and long legato --
A prairie Jenny Lind.
