Show ! The Valley of Yosemite J Soul of a tree ungrown, new life out of God's life proceeding, ! ( Folded close in the seed, waking O wonder of wonders S Walking with power as a spirit to clothe theo in leaves and in brandies : What, in the age-long future, is tho word thou art set here to say? I S Far in the great Sierra dwell the mighty groups of thy kindred- Aisles of the sounding pines! and colonnades dusky and fragrant' ! Pillared with ridgy shafts of tall and wonderful cedar. ' $ Lead to their presence; and round them forever tho mountains stand. Deep in that inner temple listens the fortimato pilgrim, ' S Low where the red lilies tremble he lies while the still hours pass by him ' Baring his brows to the silence, the dear and intimate greatness The touch of the friendly air, like a quiet and infinite hand.
