In the Prairie by Tamikio L. Dooley

In the prairie

I settle upon the grass in terms of the very lighthearted day

I inhale the flowers and dandelions

The sweet bouquet of my youth

My colleagues and my wisdom

When the twilight

I carry the prairie at midnight upon my heart

In my bed

I toss and turn

With the prairie on my heart

Though the joyful of the midnight

The raising of the dawn

I look forward to accompanying my wisdom

In the prairie

Upon my soul

I envy for the days is long

So I could fall asleep on the prairie

I yearn for a soothing song

So I can listen to the gentle rustling

Of the autumn stalks

But again

When the twilight

I have merely my heart

To the dreams of

The prairie

In the prairie

I summon no

Mournful, melancholy

Song

If the Midnight May Be

If the midnight may be

It is of something delightful in my mouth

If the midnight may be

I understand the voice of the angelic

If the midnight may be

That strange man

Who experiences to embrace me?

He experiences to embrace me

If the midnight may be

I heard the man

Cry out his affection to me

In no sorrowful, but joyful land

I heard his heavy cry

Not to discredit me

If the midnight may be

Shall I run elsewhere with him?

With the strange man

Who loveth me?

If the midnight may be
