POEMS

_OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN_

Gigantic sire, unfallen still thy crest!
Primeval dweller where the wild winds rest,
Beyond the ken of mortal e'er to tell
What power sustains thee in thy rock-bound cell.

Or if, when first creation vast began,
And far the universal fiat ran,
"Let there be light"--from chaos dark set free,
Ye rose, a monument of Deity,

Proud from yon cloud-crowned height to look henc
