Kansas Canto I TURDY Spaniards braved the dangers Of great thirst and long starvation, Seeking out the wealthy inland Called by Indian tribes-Quivira. There the rivers were abundant, There the streams were crystal shining, And the sky was like the ocean, Deep and blue and softly bending, Dotted with its fleecy cloudlets. And the prairies-oh, the prairies! Wide, unending, rolling prairies, Stretching out beneath the heaven, Swept by careless, rampant breezes, Covered with the waving verdure, Fed on, slept on, by the wild life. There the moonlight, like warm showers, Fell upon the silent reaches, Touching now the bison sleeping, Now the antelope-timid, watchfulp- Now the rabbit-started swiftly By the coyote's mournful howling. And the Spaniards came unto it, Seeking only mines of gold, And turned back from old Quivira, Leaving richness yet untold.
