Unctuous, our fierce veins to dull

At old Hix's eloquent....

On Wolf Mountain died the light;

A colossal blossom, rayed

With rent petaled clouds that played

'Round a calyxed fury bright.

Down the moist mint-scented vale

To the mining camp we turned,

Thro' the twilight faint discerned

With its crowded cabins pale.
