NAVAJO. Rough are the trails we follow, Hot are the winds we face; Swift as'the cliff-bred swallow Over the plains we race; Out of the hills, low-lying, Ride we" a thousand strong; Hark, on the breezelet dying, Unto the herdsmen's song. . Over parched water courses, Scars in the desert's breast. Swiftly we urge our horses, Putting the wind to test; Now through the mountain passes. White with eternal snow. Then deep in prairie grasses, So ride the Navajo. Far are the fires that twinkle, Calling us always home; Faint are the bells that tinkle There where our sheep-bands roam; Let the black night entrap us, Veiling her stars in rain; Slumber shall e'er enwrap us Bedouins of the plain. Denver Republican. DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.
