■ ' . A i-M M ' h. veiiiiiCj The western sky is tinged with red and gold The hills show purple in the waning light Slowly the fiery sun has sunk fronn sight The evening air grows dannp and slightly cold, The shepherd drives his flock into the fold, Above the hill-top wheels the hawk in flight While from their lairs come creatures of the night So timid ' neath the sun but now so bold. Above the trees peeps out the first bright star The whippoorwill sends forth his mournful cry, We hear his mate give answer from afar. The night wind sings a dreamy lullaby, From distant west fades out each crimson bar And soon all earth in slumber wrapped shall lie. from The Prairie Schooner and Other Poems by Edward Evereft Dale

(I The eastern sky is tinged with red The darkness siowiy fades away, O ' er wooded hills the clouds hang gray, The pall of night that over earth was spread Is lifted, while with stealthy tread Aurora comes, fair goddess of the day To ope the bars that Sol may on his way With foaming steeds and glowing car be sped. The quails are calling in the field and brake The stars have slowly faded one by one The loon cries harshly from the distant lake. Steals forth the hunter with his dog and gun Within the grove the birds begin to wake And greet with songs of joy the rising sun. — from The Prairie Schooner and Other Poems by Edward Everett Dale Photographs made of Laite Spavinaw near Tulsa
