:01:34

Deep among the lonely
sun-baked hills of Texas...

:01:38

the great and weather-beaten
stone still stands.

:01:42

The Comanches called it
Squaw's Head Rock.

:01:46

Time cannot change
its impassive face...

:01:50

nor dim the legend
of the wild young lovers...

:01:52

who found heaven and hell
in the shadows of the rock.

:01:57

For when the sun is low...

:02:00

and the cold wind blows
across the desert...

:02:02

there are those
of lndian blood...

:02:04

who still speak
of Pearl Chavez...

:02:06

the half-breed girl
from down along the border...

:02:09

and of the laughing outlaw...

:02:11

with whom she here kept
a final rendezvous...

:02:14

never to be seen again.

:02:17

And this is
what the legend says--

:02:20

A flower known nowhere else...

:02:22

grows from out
of the desperate crags...

:02:24

where Pearl vanished...

:02:26

Pearl, who was herself
a wild flower...

:02:29

sprung from the hard clay,
quick to blossom...

:02:33

and early to die.
