  • About BHS

the Canyon Dry,  the Mesa High


 

The canyon dry, the mesa high
the arroyo, the melt of snow

The watercourse, the springfed source
the green willow, the blue shadow

The sandstone rough, the trailbed tough
the wool poncho, the sombrero

The windward force, the mustang horse
the straw scarecrow, the wheelbarrow

The lightning mark, the stormcloud dark
the straight arrow, the crescent bow

The heavens near, the visions clear
the volcano, the cinder glow
