 MOUNTAIN.

| ~ v '" 's 'ss 'S ts' 's' ss v N '~ 'F s 's' s THE VOICE OF FoURcHE
 MOUNTAIN. There areno aeons! NOW begins nor ends! From out the Past Illimitable I grew,
 But ere that Past began, Another Past stretched out it's bound less length. Nor thought can tell when Cosmos first was born,
 For Cosmos always wasi I've seen the ponderous megalosaurus sprawl along In mud and mire that grimed my granite base. I've viewed the rising sun when earth. was bare of leaf and tree,
 Till quick The forest glowed with verdure; birds, bees, filled the air, The vermin of the woods-the rae coon. squirrel, 'possum, rat,
 Disported on my head, Ere man had felled the tree and built the town beyond,
 Where Capitolus now Holds up her 'lectric torch and boasts to vie With all the lamps Canopus burns. *
 Here Saturn sits, Gray haired, forever old, upon the rock
 Where Zeus trod, And Mercury, wing-footed, stopped awhile to rest And view the grandeur of the passing scene Speaks he not. Saturn, but hls thoughts are heard,
 And this they say: The priest at Delphi bade his oracle be mute, When seeing in the East the gleaming star Of Bethlehem, and knelt before a Cross on Calvary. The Red Man fell before the sword of him who struggles now In mart; who temples builds
 To law and God, fAiiNt IluItAiiS tO ctld II III pQnCu up pride, In braggart heart declares That courage, wisdom, honor, glory, virtues all
 Were not, Ere he, from out innumerable ages were evolved To ever stand and rule.
 But Where is he now? Gone? Yea-and nay. By cataelysms civilizations come and go,
 But matter always is.
 I am Eternity. You intent Dome, man-built, shall fall and erumble like it's maker. I Sit here, alone the countless atoms as my seat, Forever moving, yet forever still.
