Poem by Joaquin (Cincinnatus Hiner) Miller

* * *

A dull eyed rattlesnake that lay
All loathsome, yellow-skinned, and slept,
Coil'd tight as pine-knot, in the sun
With flat head through the center run,
Struck blindly back. 

1. Dead in the Sierras
2. In Southern California
3. California on the Passing of Tennyson
4. Washington by the Delaware
5. Twilight at the Heights
