Descending queue

Queue of visitors preparing to inspect the ruins of Balcony House, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

How far is it, dear,
To the hidden place?
Will we soon draw near,
If we walk apace?

Red hat

Visitor inspecting the ruins of Balcony House, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Woman in the red hat,
Peering at the stone,
Are you ever troubled
As you walk alone?
