The glaring sun shines down on
This desert waste of land
Lined with gold-green leaves.
The cottonwoods of Denver
Stately beside ditches stand
Up against the sky.
With chill air of dusk falling,
The songbirds now banned,
The sinking sun sets.
Blue mountains beyond tree tops,
Rimmed with blue-cloud’s band,
Stand there forever.
1967
