------------------------------------------------------------"UPON THE MOUNTAIN'S DISTANT HEAD"

by William Cullen Bryant

UPON THE MOUNTAIN'S DISTANT HEAD -

Upon the mountain's distant head,

With trackless snows forever white,

Where all is still, and cold, and dead,

Late shines the day's departing light. -

But far below those icy rocks,

The vales, in summer bloom arrayed,

Woods full of birds, and fields of flocks,

Are dim with mist and dark with shade. -

'Tis thus, from warm and kindly hearts,

And eyes where generous meanings burn,

Earliest the light of life departs,

But lingers with the cold and stern - -

THE END
