First Line: The wind sped mute among the grass
Last Line: That sweep the plains at eventide.
Subject(s): Deserts; Food & Eating
The wind sped mute among the grass
That barely swayed to let it pass.
It gave a sleepy little sigh
Of sobbed content ... and hurried by.
The hush of night had settled down
On prairied panels blended brown.
Their mullioned beauty splashed away
Where morn began; where ended day.
Like waves upon the sea they tossed,
Then washed afar, by distance lost
Within the shadows deep and wide
That sweep the plains at eventide.
