THE SONG OF THE DUNES

By Ira L. Wood Dunes of sand, dunes of sand, Cov'ring all a desert land; Whispering we we drifting go, Making billows like the now; Ruthles, cruel, as we flow Before the winds that ever blowDrifting sand, whisp'ring sand, End all a desert land Egypt, Egypt, far away Where the kings and gods held play, But a thread of green holds way' Gainst our ranks of dunes today. Where the pomp and where the power? We have covered temple tower. Drifting sand, whisp'ring sand, End of all a desert land What of race and what of birth? Nothing, nothing, all is dearth; For we laugh at puny man-, Stay ur, stay ur, if you can! We're the force that endeth all, Of living things we'll be the pall. End of all a desert land.

Adding cohorts to our strength, Wid'ning base and adding length, As we grind the mountain side, As we cover country wide. Choking rivers, filling sea, Soon the surface all will be Drifting sand, whisp'ring sand, End of all a desert land
