Settler's Moon
Sweet smoke curling
'round the camp
huddled in the cold and damp
fireside lovers
cuddle dearer
wolves howl somewhere
closer,nearer
circled wagons strong embrace
around the buckskin
and the lace
around the children
of the plains
brave thou cold and wind
and rain
there to find the dream within
to go where no one else
has been.
beneath the chalice of the sky,
the settler's moon
and you and I.
