LONESOME? Well, I guess so! This place is mighty blue; The silence of the empty rooms Jes' palpitates with you. The day has lost its beauty, The sun's a-shinin' pale; I'll round up my belongin's An' I guess I'll hit the trail. Out there in the sage-brush A-harkin' to the "Coo-oo" Of the wild dove in his matin' I can think alone of you. Perhaps a gaunt coyote Will go a-lopin' by An' linger on the mountain ridge An' cock his wary eye. An' when the evenin' settles, A-waitin' for the dawn Perhaps I'll hear the ground owl: "She's gone she's gone she's gone!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WESTERN WAGONS by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET DRIVING WEST IN 1970 by ROBERT BLY IN THE HELLGATE WIND by MADELINE DEFREES A PERIOD PORTRAIT OF SYMPATHY by EDWARD DORN ASSORTED COMPLIMENTS by EDWARD DORN AT THE COWBOY PANEL by EDWARD DORN TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
