The Pass of the Sierra

Explore "The Pass of the Sierra" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

ALL night above their rocky bed They saw the stars march slow; The wild Sierra overhead, The desert's death below.

The Indian from his lodge of bark, The gray bear from his den, Beyond their camp-fire's wall of dark, Glared on the mountain men.
