That Face I Begin To See


from the ABC set Smooth Sailing II

A red leaf falls
Cut loose by the wind
Brown heifers low
Within stone walls

Another night nears
Hidden crickets chirp
Two Texas steers
Watch fowls come home

Faceless evening shadows
Begin their slow waltzes
One two three, one two three
Finally it's yours--
That face
I begin
To see.
