NATHAHNI AND SOYAZHE, by FRANCES DAVIS ADAMS First Line: Slim soyazhe came down the hill Last Line: Between sahuaros, ribbed and still. | |||
Slim Soyazhe came down the hill A half-a-hundred years ago, Between sahuaros, ribbed and still. The blue birds practised on a trill; With Nahtahni waiting below, Slim Soyazhe came down the hill. A plump bisnaga curved a quill To catch the warm sun's twinkled glow Between sahuaros, ribbed and still. The palo verde etched a grill Of mobile shadows, in a row; Slim Soyazhe came down the hill. The turquoise birds had sung their fill And as she neared, they circled low. Between sahuaros, ribbed and still. And Nahtahni with patient will Watched silently while quiet, slow, Slim Soyazhe came down the hill Between sahuaros, ribbed and still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOUNTAIN STORM by FRANCES DAVIS ADAMS THIS IS NOT I by FRANCES DAVIS ADAMS THOUGHTS ON THE COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE AUGUSTUS BAKER JR.
