Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECEFGFG CHCHIJIJ| Dark purple chased with sudden gloom and glory | A |
| Like waves in wild unrest | B |
| Low wooded billows and steep summits hoary | A |
| Ridge slope and mountain crest | B |
| Cease at her feet with faces turned to meet her | C |
| Enthroned apart serene | D |
| Above her vassal hills whose voices greet her | C |
| The Mountain Queen | D |
| Fair City unto whom as to a lover | C |
| Our tender memories run | E |
| Childhood and Springtide s careless hours are over | C |
| And Summer days begun | E |
| Behold amid what wealth of vine and meadow | F |
| Thy maiden feet are set | G |
| And on thy brow undimmed of care or shadow | F |
| Thy civic coronet | G |
| - | |
| There have been dreams for thee by men who slumber | C |
| Sound where no voice may reach | H |
| Who ere they joined the host that none may number | C |
| Saw what they strove to teach | H |
| The vision of a city wide and splendid | I |
| Crowning the Range s wall | J |
| And o er thy sweeping plateau far extended | I |
| Welcome for all | J |
