HARLOW’S WEEKLY
—
A glorious ■farosfiect opens to the view—
JJ ell watered plains and distant hazy hills.
Here Poteau flows, and {tours his limpid stream
Into the muddy Arkansas, while to the south
The Kiamichi wends his lazy way.
Enameled bright with flowers innumerable—
As fair a scene as ever met the gaze
Of fabled Greek in fields Elysian.
For purple phloxes raise their fragrant heads,
While coreopsis adds its golden sheen,
Relieved by larksfur s deef cerulean blue.
Here feeds the shaggy buffalo, or takes
His well-worn path up Sans Bois rugged steep;
The lumbering bear is here, the timid deer;
And panthers cry by night on Cavanal.
Yes, this is Oklahoma, destined land
Of tired Red Man, driven from his haunts
Beyond the banks of mighty Mississippi,
And here, at last, the "Trail of Tears' will end
EARLY OKLAHOMA IN SPRINGTIME
William Brown Morrison
(Lines suggested by Thomas Nuttall’s description of
Eastern Oklahoma in the spring of LSI'.)).
