Text Appearing Before Image:
evalier of old, Didst thou ever fight for gold ? In my fancy now I see Indignation cover thee. No! in truth that arm so strong Neer was raised in aid of wrong. Many blows indeed I gave For the orphan and the slave. Captive maid and widowed dame Never wept at Crillons name. 72 POEMS AND CONCEITS IN VERSE. Sword I drew for Christ my Lord,Never false was Crillons word.Weighty reasons Crillon gaveWhy the world should call him brave. EL CAPITAN—YOSEMITE. Overland Monthly. No milestones mark the mighty handiwork Of Gods creation. Time is but a spark That points the vastness of eternity. A satellite may run its course and mark A fleeting second on that vaulted disk Where nebulae revolve a single hour. But mortal all, we know an infinite Of lesser scope to mete by measures vast.

And thou, El Capitan, cloud-piercing rock. POEMS AND CONCEITS IN VERSE. 73 Regards thy unsealed, battled heights benumbed, And seeks in vain thy hidden origin. Three thousand feet! Tis but a feeble span! And there on high thy cloud-capped fretted head Hast scorned the fuming storms of gnawing time. And thou, perchance, hast seen the fiery birth Of planets, and beheld the perishing Of suns, unmoved on thy supernal seat. Thine ow^n birth hid in deepest mystery. Thou greater than the sphinx. But thou divine. Stupendous form, exalted one of time. Through untold aeons, wilt thou break the spell Of thine immensity and tell thy tale ? How wast thou reared, colossus, granite ribbed, Great monument of Natures wild caprice ? GLACIER POINT—YOSEMITE. The giant pines behind me hid the sky; Before me lay the awe-inspiring deepsOf great Yosemite. Afar on high The winter king eternal vigil keeps, 74 POEMS AND CONCEITS IN VERSE. And silent peaks beneath their snowy hoodStand guard for him oer this,
