The Navajo shepherd tends his sheep, Herding them close by the railroad track. The Sunshine Special rushes past, And the tourist yawns and glances back, And buys a package of post card views. And then he returns to the east,—and lo! He writes and publishes a scholarly book, The Life and Customs of the Navajo. She-tha-sie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE OLD INDIAN by ARTHUR STANLEY BOURINOT SCHOLARLY PROCEDURE by JOSEPHINE MILES ONE LAST DRAW OF THE PIPE by PAUL MULDOON THE INDIANS ON ALCATRAZ by PAUL MULDOON PARAGRAPHS: 9 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THEY ACCUSE ME OF NOT TALKING by HAYDEN CARRUTH AMERICAN INDIAN ART: FORM AND TRADITION by DIANE DI PRIMA THE BOOK OF STONES AND LILIES by AMY LOWELL |
