BUFFALO BILL'S GRAVE
I've stood at the grave of Buffalo Bill
On a mountain crest and I've felt the thrill
Which he must have felt, as I saw below
The prairies wide of his long ago.
I've heard it told how he journeyed there
With the breezes tossing his steel-gray hair,
And his soul rejoiced at each changing scene
Which marks the haunts
where his youth had been
And I understand why he asked to lie
Through the last long sleep
'neath that open sky.
