| | From “Songs for Places” Old Mexico
IS it long to Orizaba? | |
| Have I far to go? | |
| When I ask the carrier-pigeons, | |
| They don’t know. | |
| |
| There’s a mountain I am seeking, | 5 |
| Feathered all with snow. | |
| When I ask the valley orchids, | |
| They don’t know. | |
| |
| Like an orchid pale and folded, | |
| Like a snowy bird, | 10 |
| That’s the mountain I am seeking: | |
| Have you heard? | |
| |
| You can see it on the sunrise | |
| When the clear winds blow. | |
| Is it far to Orizaba, | 15 |
| Do you know? | | | | |
