| | From “Smoke Nights”
WHAT was the name you called me?— | |
| And why did you go so soon? | |
| |
| The crows lift their caw on the wind, | |
| And the wind changed and was lonely. | |
| |
| The warblers cry their sleepy-songs | 5 |
| Across the valley gloaming, | |
| Across the cattle-horns of early stars. | |
| |
| Feathers and people in the crotch of a treetop | |
| Throw an evening waterfall of sleepy-songs. | |
| |
| What was the name you called me?— | 10 |
| And why did you go so soon? | | | | |
