Poem.
Linser, evening. with your glories
On Hawaiian's mountains grand.
While the dcepninc shadows darkeu
All the fading lower land.
On those mighty domcs that firmly
stand through storms and earfhuuakc fhrr~s
Brightly pours your purpiing twilight:
Gid their dazzling crowns Of snows.
Herein prolong the brighter evening
OF the self forgetting love.
That DER selfish labor towers
As the mountain tower above.
That as stesdfastly endureth
By the help Of Gods right hand
Through the storms Of sin and evil
A the rock-ribbed mountains STAND. Il
That through dfty years OF toiIinr
Meath the shifting clouds and ii.hf =
EHct made sweet son-z Of .zdness
Like the mountain sfrcainlcfs bright
Through whose shepherd care the crriJxE
on came 70 the Savior's rest.
As the roaming 1Ocks End shcifcp/
On the lefty mountains brrasG
May ihe evening light long stirhicn
sEeA rare linrrin liveSybf love,
star CLEAN forth az dsrkness gathers,
Til the dawn shilcf from abovr.
Til before the ior, lar higher.
Shining frulQ bic dome above
Succtgr son.Sfof praise arc warbicd.
And briEN crowns are cast in love
