A NEVADA COWPUNCHER TO HIS
BELOVED
L ONESOME ? Well, I guess so!
j 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 belonging
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! "
