Desert Night

William H. Simpson

From “Along Old Trails”

JUNE moon of the desert,

Sailing low—

The ways are free

Where God’s fleets go.

The palo verde

You silver-tip;

The mesquite leaves

With your ghost-glow drip.

Deep down in furrows

Of wind-plowed hills

You shine, and their glory

Overspills.
