The Cow-Boy

________________________________________________
Title:     The Cow-Boy
Author: Hamlin Garland [More Titles by Garland]

Of rough rude stock this saddle sprite
Is grosser grown with savage things.
Inured to storms, his fierce delight
Is lawless as the beasts he swings
His swift rope over.--Libidinous, obscene,
Careless of dust and dirt, serene,
He faces snows in calm disdain,
Or makes his bed down in the rain.

[The end]
Hamlin Garland's poem: The Cow-Boy
