| | From “High Places”
THE LONG last lights on the mesas fail, | |
| And the twittering quail and the coo-doves cease; | |
| The young wind walks in the tasseling corn— | |
| Ohé! | |
| But there’s never the fall of your foot in the trail, | 5 |
| And the twilight hour is long, | |
| Beloved— | |
| Ohé!— | |
| And the twilight hour is long! | |
| |
| The moon comes over the cañon wall | 10 |
| The tombés wake, | |
| And the slim flutes call, | |
| And the dew drips down from the tasseling corn— | |
| Ohé! | |
| But there’s never the sound of your voice at all, | 15 |
| And the twilight hour is long, | |
| Beloved— | |
| Ohé! | |
| And the twilight hour is long! | | | | |
|
