SAND DUNES by DOROTHY WHITTINGTON

First Line: MOUNTAINS OF SHIFTING SAND
Last Line: IS CRUSHED BY THE SHIFTING SAND!
Subject(s): DUNES;
Mountains of shifting sand,
Lavender and silver and gold—
Driven by wind and by water,
Centuries, centuries old!
So are the helpless driven
By powers they cannot understand;
Crushing their dreams as the forest
Is crushed by the shifting sand!
