When thoughts of nature come to mind
And distant lands we'd wish to roam:
With hilltops lofty, in another cline,
Ten thousand miles from home:
Where all of natures grandeur
Spreads along the trails of man,
Is becoming, in his procedure,
AS no other scenes ever can.
And as he walks besides the streams,
Where the fragrant Columbne lends its smell:
Truth will have been realized in his dreams,
That living tongue can never tell.

For IN this truthful tale as told to you,
BY hands that you have never seen,
Learn that snow from heaven makes the dew
That in springtime brings the mountain green.
And as you travel the canons deep.
Or pass the lofty mountain peak,
Admiration to your heart will creep,
While homeward bouud you will ever speak,
For the tales Of nature are hard to tell
: To one who does NOT know
That once the hillsides were burning hell,
Where now the Columbnes grow.
