CANYON WALLS, by                    
First Line: I know the deep-browed peace of canyon walls
Last Line: And the silence reigns.
Subject(s): Canyons; Rocky Mountain Range; Silence


I know the deep-browed peace of canyon walls,
The white cloud drift of wild plum overhead.

Silence is laid upon me
For the shadows are deep.

I walk upon white gypsum and red rock
Wet with the trickle of springs.

The bitter waters are cool to my feet,
And the silence reigns.
