First Line: Leave him here at the canyon's head
Last Line: With the grass waving round him.
Subject(s): Cowboys; Police; West (u.s.); Southwest; Pacific States
LEAVE him here at the cañon's head,
Comrades who love him,
He will be very happy, dead,
With the redbuds above him.
He will feel very much at home
With the red earth to cover him
And the wild currant's sweet perfume
Breathing soft over him.
Leave him here with his riding done,
Here where we found him,
He will never be quite alone
With the grass waving round him.
