SIERRA TRAIL DUST, by RUTH CLAY PRICE
First Line: Orchid-like, gold mimulus cling
Last Line: With crystal dust and powdered clay.
Subject(s): Sierra Nevada Mountains
First Line: Orchid-like, gold mimulus cling
Last Line: With crystal dust and powdered clay.
Subject(s): Sierra Nevada Mountains
Orchid-like, gold mimulus cling
To blackened granite above the spring.
Skyline mountain, a pyramid block,
Marked like an Indian picture rock.
Red and yellow columbines
Flame beneath the sugar-pines.
Green-white aspens, bended bows,
Curved by heavy winter snows.
Powder-sweet the flowers grow
Between the timber and the snow.
Polished, blue gentians, lapidescent,
Startle Sierra meadows, quiescent.
Finally wind will have its way
With crystal dust and powdered clay.
