MYSTERY.
The river hemmed with leaning trees
Wound through its meadows green;
low, blue line OF mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp. tall peak above them all
Clear into sunlight sprang:
j saw the river OF my dreams,
The mountains that sang!
No clew OF memory led me on,
But well the ways knew
feeling OF familiar things
With every footstep grew
Not otherwise above its crag
Could lean the blasted pune .
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
so up the long and shorn foothills
The mountain road should creep;
So, green and low, the meadow Iold
Its red-haired kline asleep
The river wound as 1t should wind;
Their place the mOutains took.
The white, torn fringes OF their CLOUDS
Wore no unw0nted look.
| Yet meier before that rivers rim
Was pressed by feet of mlne
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence strange at once and known.
Walked with me as my guide;
The skirts of some forgotten lie
| Trailed noiseless AT my slde
Was IL aforementioned dream3
Or glimpse through eons oidf
| The secret which the mountains kept,
| The river never told
| But from the vision ere II passed
| A tender hope drew,
| And pleasant as dawn OF spring,
| The thought within me grew,
That love would temper every change,
And soften all surprises
| And, misty with the dreams OF earth,
| The hills of Heaven arise.
