Old Spookses’ Pass (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
I. WE’D camped that night on Yaller Bull Flat,— Thar was Possum Billy, an’ Tom, an’ me. Right smart at throwin’ a lariat Was them two fellers, as ever I see; An’ for ridin’ a broncho, or argyin’ squar With the devil roll’d up in the … Continue reading
The Helot (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
I. Low the sun beat on the land, Red on vine and plain and wood;With the wine-cup in his hand, Vast the Helot herdsman stood. II. Quench’d the fierce Achean gaze, Dorian foemen paus’d before,Where cold Sparta snatch’d her bays At Achaea’s stubborn door. … Continue reading
Old Spense (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
You’ve seen his place, I reckon, friend? ‘Twas rather kind ov tryin’.The way he made the dollars fly, Such gimcrack things a-buyin’– He spent a big share ov a fortin’ On pesky things that went a snortin’ And hollerin’ over all the fields, And ploughin’ … Continue reading
Malcolm’s Katie: A Love Story – Part IV. (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
From his far wigwam sprang the strong North WindAnd rush’d with war-cry down the steep ravines,And wrestl’d with the giants of the woods;And with his ice-club beat the swelling crests.Of the deep watercourses into death,And with his chill foot froze … Continue reading

The South Wind laid his moccasins aside,Broke his gay calumet of flow’rs, and castHis useless wampun, beaded with cool dews,Far from him, northward; his long, ruddy spearFlung sunward, whence it came, and his soft locksOf warm, fine haze grew silver … Continue reading
Malcolm’s Katie: A Love Story – Part V. (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
Said the high hill, in the morning: “Look on me–“Behold, sweet earth, sweet sister sky, behold“The red flames on my peaks, and how my pines“Are cressets of pure gold; my quarried scars“Of black crevase and shadow-fill’d canon,“Are trac’d in silver … Continue reading
La Bouquetiere (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
Buy my roses, citizens,– Here are roses golden white,Like the stars that lovers watch On a purple summer night.Here are roses ruddy red, Here are roses Cupid’s pink;Here are roses like his cheeks– Deeper–like his lips, I think.Vogue la galere! what if they die,Roses … Continue reading
The Canoe (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
My masters twain made me a bed Of pine-boughs resinous, and cedar; Of moss, a soft and gentle breeder Of dreams of rest; and me they spread With furry skins, and laughing said, “Now she shall lay her polish’d sides, As queens do rest, or dainty … Continue reading
The Dark Stag (Isabella Valancy Crawford Poems)
A startled stag, the blue-grey Night, Leaps down beyond black pines. Behind—a length of yellow light— The hunter’s arrow shines: His moccasins are stained with red, He bends upon his knee, From covering peaks his shafts are sped, The blue mists plume his mighty head,— Well may the … Continue reading
