Half dormant, from the sod, Plow-turned, they crawl. In sunny spots they coil And sleep. Where thorns and color hide them well, Through cactus beds they glide. Across the paths Oft trod by human feet, they slowly drag 38 PEN PICTURES OF THE PLAINS Their mottled length. Disturbed; defiant, clear, And shrill, their whirring rattle warns ; And quickly coiled, they spring their length to strike With poison fangs, the angry, fatal blow. The enmity declared in Eden, still Exists; and man shall bruise... the serpent s head, Till, overcome at last, the hidden foe No more, with evil threatens childhood s play, Or him, who walks upon, or tills the soil. IRRIGATION At last the channels have been made that shall Convey the thirsty land, the cooling draft, That rippling, dimpling, on its busy way, Bids hidden seed and fainting plant, take heart And grow. The stream that foamed and fret ted down The mountain side, a rushing torrent made By melting snows too strong and turbulent To keep within the river s banks, full well May spare the portion of its flood, required To make the sun-baked prairie green and glad.
