Campo Santo

By William H. Simpson


From “Along Old Trails” INÉS, Anita, Tomás, José,
I sup with you, on my pilgrim way;

Craving the stillness of ’dobe walls,
And earth-floors trod by soft footfalls.

Yon campo santo is earthen, too;	5
Room in it for me, and room for you;

Little earth homes, for the weary—all
Who seek their sleep by the earthy wall.
