These are poems of jingling reins, cowboy courting’, living free and thunder on the western plains. Mixing both vintage poetry from the early years of the 20th Century with poems that were written during the last decade of the 1900‘s, this is a varied collection, in many different styles yet they all have in common that authentic ring of the true cowgirl.
Don’t bring me roses till I die,
She told him all her life.
I’m more a lilac kind of girl,
A daisy kind of wife.
- Roses for a Cowgirl by Jo Maseberg
Macksville, Kansas
Simple lyrics, direct in nature, this anthology of women’s writings allows us to see the beauty, the excitement, and the hardships of a cowgirl‘s life, be they wives, mothers or daughters.
Out here in the West, where settlers dwelt
On plains as vast as a sea,
Lie the bones of children, buried in sod
In graves you’ll never see.
- Lilac Time by Gwen Peterson
