The Last of the Cowboys

Mary Carolyn Davies

THEY have gone down like the sunset, who like the sun

Were mighty and high and scornful; their hour is done.

Slowly into the night they ride, each one.

They have gone down like the sunset, sharp on the hill.

A moment against the sky they stood, until

The dark came down and they met it, stoic and still.
