And the prairie flowers lie low: —


The tossing, blooming, perfumed grass
The tossing, blooming, perfumed grass
Is swept away by the wheat,
Is swept away by the wheat,
Wheels and wheels and wheels spin by
Wheels and wheels and wheels spin by
In the spring that still is sweet. (Vachel Lindsay)
In the spring that still is sweet. (Vachel Lindsay)

    When I die take my saddle from the wall
    Put it onto my pony, lead him out of his stall
    Tie my bones on his back and turn our faces to the west
    We’ll ride the prairies that we love the best

    Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow
