Waiting
She has gone from our home in the mountains
Where the vast peaks reach up to the sky,
And whisper her name with a sigh,
She now rests where the old twisted cedar
Clings fast to the rocks on the hill,
And the wind sings a dirge in its branches
In a voice that is hollow and shrill.
She has gone, but her spirit still wanders
On the trail by my side at the dawn,
And she sings with the birds of the morning,
When the night’s gloomy shadows have gone.
She moves in the murmuring river
And the rustling leaves of the tree,
And there in the glow of the sunset
She is waiting and beckoning to me.
So I wonder away to the westward
Where the trails cross that misty divide
Where I know in the twilights she’s waiting
