(Excerpts from Lasca by Frank Desprez)

I want free life and I want fresh air
And I sigh for the canter after the cattle
The crack of the whips like shots in a battle
The medley of horns and hoofs and heads and wrangles

The green beneath and the blue above
And dash and danger, and life and love
And Lasca

Lasca used to ride
On a mouse-gray mustang
Little she cared, save to be by my side
To ride with me, and ever to ride
From San Saba's shore to LaVaca's tide
She was as bold as the billows that beat
She was as wild as the breezes that blow
From her little head to her little feet
She was swayed in her suppleness to and fro
By each gust of passion

A sapling pine
That grows on the edge of a Kansas bluff
And wars with the wind when the weather's rough
Is like this Lasca, this love of mine

She would hunger that I might eat
Would take the bitter and leave me the sweet
But once, when I made her jealous for fun
At something I'd whispered, or looked, or done

She drew from her breast a dear little dagger
And - sting of a wasp! - it made me stagger
An inch to the left, or an inch to the right
And I shouldn't be maundering here tonight
