THE BAD LANDS, by JESSIE M. GILMORE First Line: The bad lands raise their lovely shoulders Last Line: As harmonies unsung. Subject(s): Prairies; South Dakota; Plains | |||
The Bad Lands raise their lovely shoulders In mounds of mystery; Bare labyrinths of chalk-clay boulders, Devoid of greenery. The blue and primrose, violet blended, With cinnamon and gold, Of crocus colored hills upended, Deep fold on purple fold, Were marvelously wrought and fashioned When life was crude and young, In pageants of art, impassioned, As harmonies unsung. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LEFT-HANDED POEM by JAMES GALVIN NO COMPLAINTS; FOR ROBERT GRENIER by ANSELM HOLLO POINT OF ROCKS, TEXAS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAIRIE HOUSES by BARBARA GUEST AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE PRAIRIES by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT TO MAKE A PRAIRIE by EMILY DICKINSON THE PRAIRIE-GRASS DIVIDING by WALT WHITMAN SYMPHONY OF THE SOIL by EVA K.
