Notes About The Poem

      

Indian Love Song

A Tribute to Slim Whitman


He led his horse towards a pool,
Near a lovely large cotton tree.
Far away, he heard the hooves
Of a thousand bison as they crossed
The dusty prairie in search of food. 

Near at hand stood a large tepee
From where his lovely Indian emerged.
Dark hair, dark eyes. a beauty beyond compare.
She smiled but stood erect at the doorway.

Instantly, he lifted his guitar. 
And in a yodel tune, he sang his love.
How oft he repeated his refrain,
"You belong to me,
I belong to you."
Finally, he put down his guitar.
Slowly, he approached her,
Tilted her lovely face up,
Their lips met in a sweet, lingering kiss.

This is a lovely poem. It would make a good scene for a western movie. The photo of the Indian maiden is an attractive addition

Very beautiful! Seems like a time of heartfelt the young people today will never know. I also remember Nelson Eddy, in Royal Mountain uniform singing to Jeanette MacDonald. Treasures of nostalgia. Thank you for the fond memory revisited.

Your write sure don't resonate an iota of his crooning. I trust Bing's crooning card filled to the next millennium. A worthy write of this priceless gem.
