COW BELLS, by                    
First Line: So often when our wan blue dusk wears thin
Last Line: Oft on old loma evenings warmly fell.
Subject(s): Cowboys; Levin, Rahel Robert; Spain; Varhagen Von Ense, Mrs. Karl


So often when our wan blue dusk wears thin
We might forget the city edging close
Upon our Loma meadows. Then Black Rose
And Julie, sauntering down rue-paths, begin
Their faintly jangled, hesitant small din --
Monotonous half-hushed adagios
Inviting sleep -- and pastoral repose
Enfolds long dreams of peace the night within.
They do not browse alone, this hobbled pair
Beside the sage brush. That reluctant bell
Recalls ten thousand roaming herds that were
A hundred years ago! Its stridours tell
How from vaquero's lips a Spanish air
Oft on old Loma evenings warmly fell.
