THE SINGER by DENISE BARRETTE

First Line: OVER THE ECRU SUMMER GRASS
Last Line: A PRAIRIE JENNY LIND.
Subject(s): LIND, JENNY (1820-1887); PRAIRIES; WIND; PLAINS;

Over the ecru summer grass,
Where the low wild rose is pinned,
A clear soprano aria
From the sweet throat of the wind.
Tremble of thrills and long legato --
A prairie Jenny Lind.
