'Tis winter in the mountain., A world of fint and frost, Of adamantine fountains, In frozen rivers lost., A mighty silence sluimbers, Arnong the'ridges steep, Where late, in rhythmic numbers, WVas heard the freshet's leap. And ail the rotky ledges Have draperies of ice, Along their ragged edges, lnwrought wîth strange device. Who knows the desolation, Which sumnier nover cheers, Where since their first creation, Have dwelt the frozen vears? On summinit s taîl and loneiy, Abovo the mist and cloud, Where wind and winter only, With icy feet have trod. Arnong the ice-buiît masses, WVhat hosts of cold encamp; Along the deep crevasses, What freozing ternpests tramnp? Be"fore thema fiercely driving-, The frightened flricks of snow, That downwardl huddling, striving, Fill ail the air boelow. Till borulders and sharp ridges, With fleecy white are capped; And solid stroarns have bridges 0f drifts on drifts o'erlapped. But Spring will corne, old mountains, And down your furrowed sido, Cataracts leap from fountains, By melting snows suvpliod. And pale green things uip springing, Show where the sunbeams stray; And eagle skyward wingîng, Salute the golden daN'. And Summer's old, old story, rIn leaf and flower be told, lier radiant drearn àfgiory, Irnpressed in green and gold, The valleys aIl lie sleeping, in stinshiniewrrn and sweet, And joyfuil strearns be leaping, Like lambs, around your f oet! But suinmer suns are powerless, To tayu locks of white; Foreve r cold and- floWerless,. Remains your awful height.
