Excerpt from Yarns of the Southwest The Dessert Gaunt cacti menace with their cruel thorns, The air is filled with quivering, scorching heat, A sky of molten brass, a withering sun that scorns To mercy give. A traveler reels with staggering feet. The wind's hot breath a palsy brings, Thirst maddens with its gripping pangs, The rattler strikes, the scorpion stings - These are the flame-mad desert fangs. And then November's cooling breezes blow, And with reviving softness comes the rain, In quiet spots sweet herbs and flowers grow. And beauty broods o'er rock and hill and plain. The mocker throats a song in rapturous strain The palo verde flowers in rarest art, The desert, healed of all its heat-wrought pain, To those who love it, shows a golden heart.
