 The Flower-Fed Buffaloes by Vachel Lindsay 
						THE flower-fed buffaloes of the springIn the days of long ago,
 Ranged where the locomotives sing
 And the prarie flowers lie low:
 The tossing, blooming, perfumed grass
 Is swept away by wheat,
 Wheels and wheels and wheels spin by
 In the spring that still is sweet.
 But the flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
 Left us long ago,
 They gore no more, they bellow no more
 They trundle around the hills no more: --
 With the Blackfeet lying low,
 With the Pawnee lying low,
 Lying low.
