She was timid, I said, and shy: Once, however, when all the sky Burned with summer, and on the plain Cattle perished because the sun Licked the water-ways, all undone, Fever-stricken, nor succor near, 27 PANCHITA She, my timid one, laughed at fear; Laughed at danger and death and stood O'er my pallet through days of pain, — Called the flickering life spark back Into vigor and hope again. Did I love her? God knows, and He Knows the riddle of destiny. Sternly scornful, her father said, "Child nor... chattel of mine shall wed Northern vandal; the grave were better." So I left him and one dark night Led two mustangs beneath the wall Where Panchita, arrayed for flight. Heard and answered my signal call. 28 PANCHITA O that ride 'neath a broken moon! The spur of danger, the quick caress, The hope, the promise, and all too soon The utter shadow and bitterness ! We reached the river; the stream was up; The current was swift and black; But a hundred times my mustangs' feet Had threaded the ford and back ; So we urged them in, nor dreamed that death Lurked under the cataract.
