TIE HEMLocks AT OVERLOOK.

The winds of heaven rnnnd us range,
And immemorial sagas tell;
While we defy each seasons change,
Majestic and immutable.
The hours go by in measured march,
Each In its dropping druid shroud,
While DER us through the ethereal arch
Sail the white argosies of cloud.
We taste the sweetness of the rain;
We breast the swirl and lash of snow;
OF Gods white sunlight are we fain;
The friendship of His stars we know.
Though we are anchored firm In earth
Deeply our roots in darkness urned-
Yetsfrom the moment of our birth
Have we intensely upward yearned.
AS elemental as the dust,
Atoms of the eternal plan,
We stand In mute, unwavering trust,
A silent sermon unto man.
