. At early candle light and other poems. eeth beneath her the blue firmament. Watching the mists of the morning that scaleThe path of the winding and perilous trail,The steeps of the Sierras gray monochrome,The storm-smitten summit of awful South Dome,When by the great portal of red porphyryThe sun drives his car into Yosemite. 39 40 niRROR LAKE Below, in clear water, the tall turrets swing, The bold cedar-trees to the terraces cling,The sevenfold rainbow is flinging its spanFrom Bridal Veil Falls unto Bl Capitan. As spun by the sun from the foamy cascade. When arching across the aerial glade, It looks like the girder of Gods which He looks down into Yosemite. Sometimes in the dawning the clouds seem to standOn a far-away ledge, like an angelic bandThat pauses in flight, on the opaline vergeWhere the sky and the snow into mj^stery merge;Then Day to the seraphs shouts oer the abyss,**0 shining and sinless ones, answer me this:Can aught in your heaven of heavens eer beAs sublime as this splendor of Yosemite? I?A^^.
