SONG OF THE COMANCHE COUNTRY, by                    
First Line: I do not know how it is
Last Line: Forget their caravans to listen.
Subject(s): Oklahoma


I do not know how it is
In California,
Or Connecticut,
Or Illinois;
But here, where the lumps of hills
Squat low and close like camps of Indian bands,
The stars look down, carefully at first,
A few at a time ...
Then all at once the sky is full of stars
Running over the edges.
The dark land...and the sand hills
That black-jacks love the touch of,
Forget their caravans to listen.
