Xa Cuesta palp ICilu All Arijinm 3lll iau ICiiur S ' mig By D. MAITLAND BUSIIBY The Desert Poet Ho! Copashi. Dost thou hear The trembling song Of Neandah, the nightingale, As he opens his soul To Keetchie IVIanido, the Great Spirit? Tish, listen My Copashi — My Pale Lily, While I, Dundwisa, sing the song That has grown in my heart for thee — As song of the soul Even as that of Neandah. The velvet wings of night are closing Over the purple lake, beloved. And the voice of Nekewasin, The chief of all redmen, Whispei ' s thi-ough the pines. Ho! Why do I sing of these Copashi? To show thv fineness and their rawness, My Pale Lil ' y. For the softness of dusk Is as nothing beside thy brown eyes, And the sweetness of Nekewasin s voice Rumbles like thunder when heart with thine. Hah — eeeeee yah ! And the tender gentleness Of a mother with her babe Is no more than thy gentleness, Copashi. Dost wonder then Oh Pretty T ' lower, That the heart of Dundwisa, Jumping Bear, Goes out to thee and seeks in thy heart Its mate? Tish — The young Hunter ' s Moon Comes creeping like a fox. I must leave thee, my Copashi. When this infant moon Is large and old with age Look thou for Dundwisa — He shall return then For the answer of thy heart.
