Poems of Nature (Whittier)/Illustration 9

​

A Mountain Glen.

Once more, O Mountains of the North, unveilYour brows, and lay your cloudy mantles by!And once more, ere the eyes that seek ye fail,Uplift against the blue walls of the skyYour mighty shapes, and let the sunshine weaveIts golden network in your belting woods,Smile down in rainbows from your falling floods,And on your kingly brows at morn and eveSet crowns of fire!Mountain Pictures: Franconia from the Pemigewasset.
