OUR WEEKLY POEM
By H. Wendell Winslow
THE DUNES
With reverent love I do behold,
Your utmost silence, mighty Dune;
Though not a word you seem to utter,
Yet with Heaven, you must commune.
Oh wonderful Dunes, I beg you tell,
Are your duties boringly hard?
Dreadfully tired, I know you grow,
While in silence, you stand on guard.
Stately above the world around you,
In giant manner, there you stand,
Like a true soldier ever watching,
Over this yellow sandy land.
Oh beautiful mounts of grains of sand,
Your massive shape the winds do mold,
But the mystery of your making,
From the world you still withhold.
