OKLAHOMA PRAIRIES, by ELIZABETH COPMANN

Subject(s): Prairies; Plains
First Line: Not in the path of the brazen sun
Last Line: Trails a rainbow through the grasses.
Subject(s): Prairies; Plains
Not in the path of the brazen sun
Does the spirit hover;
What that great harsh eye looks upon
Becomes the earth's bleached cover.
Days when distances are mistful,
Something rises here; something passes
Hesitant and pinched and wistful --
Trails a rainbow through the grasses.
