      THE MOUNTAIN

THUNDER BAY

       Table of Contents

      Deep calm from God enfolds the land;

       Light on the mountain top I stand;

       How peaceful all, but ah, how grand!

       Low lies the bay beneath my feet;

       The bergs sail out, a white-winged fleet,

       To where the sky and ocean meet.

       Their glacier mother sleeps between

       Her granite walls. The mountains lean

       Above her, trailing skirts of green.

       Each ancient brow is raised to heaven:

       The snow streams always, tempest-driven,

       Like hoary locks, o'er chasms riven

       By throes of Earth. But, still as sleep,

       No storm disturbs the quiet deep

       Where mirrored forms their silence keep.

       A heaven of light beneath the sea!

       A dream of worlds from shadow free!

       A pictured, bright eternity!

       The azure domes above, below
