1. "I saw my face in cousins' faces, heard my voice in their high drawls." (p.668)
2.My Guess: High drawls would be referring to their conversations with other people.
3.Definition: drawl means to speak in a slow manner (dictionary.com)
4. Explanation: high drawls means speaking in a slow manner. With this knowledge the author of this poem is saying that he can hear his voice in the speech of his cousins. When high is added to the word drawls that can be referring to the pitch at which they are speaking.
