PRAIRIES, by JACK GREENBERG
First Line: A rolling ocean heaving with green blades
Last Line: The prairies breathe a secret that's supreme.
First Line: A rolling ocean heaving with green blades
Last Line: The prairies breathe a secret that's supreme.
A rolling ocean heaving with green blades
And sporting gleamy blooms of sundry hue
The prairies rest beneath the misty shades
Or spread with wanton yield their gorgeous view.
Like tiny ships the cattle move about,
And houses rise like cliffs above the wave,
Beyond the reach of gaze horizons flout
The challenge of the venturous margrave.
A boundless ocean is this vast expanse
Of mighty level, soul of vanquished seas
That whispers indestructible romance
And wakens not to be forgotten pleas.
As lover left with unrequited dream,
The prairies breathe a secret that's supreme.
