Drown'd Ogallala, heed my prayer:
These grave-robbing prairie-dwellers
Desiccate thy corpse!
Poison'd aguas de México:
Biped mosquitoes that bite thee
Desiccate thy corpse!
Sluggish, feeble Colorado:
Vampire lettuce fields sap, deplete,
Desiccate thy corpse!
Snake River canyon, wild and fierce:
Spuds and onions do from thee leech,
Desiccate thy corpse!
As each little trickle runs dry:
Hope, peace, and well of creation;
Desiccate our corpse!
