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. Twilight at the Heights
3. In Southern California
4. California on the Passing of Tennyson
5. Joaquin Miller to the Money Getter
