Cottonwood Falls
By Steven K. Nagle

Beneath the bricks on Broadway; beneath the courthouse stone,
Resting Native spirits, this prairie was their home.

They bravely hunted bison, where city buildings stand,
  Settlements lie buried, covered over by mason's hands.
Native heritage honored, their spirits forever last,
Arrowheads picked from fields, remind us of their past.
 Indian villages faded, the settler's town was born,
 Endless farms and ranches, fields of wheat and corn.
General stores and feed mills, the railroad followed through,
Merchants came from miles, as the tiny city grew.
  Stretching high among them, block steps and red lane meet,
The courthouse sits eternal in the Chase County seat.

 Survived the prairie fires, dust storms and flooding rains,
 This town is everlasting, a treasure on the plains.

Ensuring preservation, hung on museum walls,
The Flint Hills best kept secret; Cottonwood Falls.
