GLORY OF THE PLAINS (ON HORSEBACK), by                    
First Line: The sky is steeped in blue and gold
Last Line: You love it ... Same as I!
Subject(s): Horseback Riding; Wings


The sky is steeped in blue and gold;
The morning raindrops sing;
A hawk is riding on a cloud,
With jewels on his wing.
At length he stirs his wing a wee
Upon his lofty tow'r;
There comes the flurry of a breeze
And presently, a show'r.

And, pony, you and I are out
To trail the hills togeth'r --
Just you and I to stalk alone
The glory of the weath'r.
But, then, we love the way the rain
Swirls down the rippled sky,
To break on goffered, carkled earth --
You love it ... same as I!
