Little prairie town,
You are a sleeping infant
At the breast of a great brown woman.

The starry attitude of new-born things,
The promise of beauty
Is yours
As you lie sleeping
Under the prairie night.

With wild sweet fragrance
Prairie dawn
Breaks over you.
Not of the earth only --
I know.

Little prairie town
At the breast of that brown beautiful woman --

Sleep.
