Sonnet to Mount Hood.

Mount Hood Thou grand, celestial,
lofty height;
Thou careful guardian Of our peace
full land,
Firm-fxed and stationed by Gods
prudent hand,
To keep thy watchful vigil, day and
night;
Though ofttimes storms do hide thee
from our sight,
Yet, when the sun once more at Gods
command
The gloomy clouds from vision doth
disband,
Again we see thee, grand, majestic,
bright
Though other mounts to anger do give
vent,
And ruin cities with their pent-up
wrath,
Thou1t never bow SO low thy hoary
crest,
But ever stay a friend-as thou vast
sent
Not sending floods Of evil in our path,
But calm, foretelling Of Eternal Rest.
