TO J FOX JR	A
	-
	-
You remember how the mist	B
When we climbed to Devil's Den	C
Pearly in the mountain glen	C
And above us amethyst	B
Throbbed or circled then away	D
Through the wildwoods opposite	E
Torn and scattered morning lit	F
Vanished into dewy gray	D
Vague as in romance we saw	G
From the fog one riven trunk	H
Talon like with branches shrunk	H
Thrust a monster dragon claw	G
And we climbed for hours through	A
The dawn dripping Jellicoes	G
To a wooded rock that shows	G
Undulating leagues of blue	A
Summits mountain chains that lie	I
Dark with forests bar on bar	A
Ranging their irregular	A
Purple peaks beneath a sky	I
Soft as slumber Range on range	J
Billow their enormous spines	G
Where the rocks and priestly pines	G
Sit eternal without change	J
We were sons of Nature then	C
She had taken us to her	A
Signalized by brier and burr	A
Something more to her than men	C
Pupils of her lofty moods	G
From her bloom anointed looks	G
Wisdom of no man made books	G
Learned we in those solitudes	G
How the seed supplied the flower	A
How the sapling held the oak	K
How within the vine awoke	K
The wild impulse still to tower	A
How in fantasy or mirth	L
Springing from her footsteps there	A
Curious fungi everywhere	A
Bulged exuded from the earth	L
Coral vegetable things	G
That the underworld exhaled	M
Bulbous crystal ribbed and scaled	M
Many colored and in rings	G
Like the Indian Pipe that grew	A
Pink and white in loamy cracks	G
Flowers of a natural wax	G
She had turned her fancy to	A
On that laureled precipice	G
Where the chestnuts dropped their burrs	G
Sweet with balsam of the firs	G
First we felt her mother kiss	G
Full of heaven and the wind	N
While the forests wood on wood	O
Murmured like a multitude	P
Giving praise where none hath sinned	Q
Freedom met us there we saw	G
Freedom giving audience	G
In her face the eloquence	G
Lightning like of love and law	G
Round her with majestic hips	G
Lay the giant mountains there	A
Near her cataracts tossed their hair	A
God and thunder on their lips	G
Oft an eagle or a hawk	R
Or a scavenger we knew	A
Winged through altitudes of blue	A
By its shadow on the rock	S
Or a cloud of templed white	T
Moved a lazy berg of pearl	U
Through the sky's pacific swirl	U
Shot with cool cerulean light	T
So we dreamed an hour upon	V
That warm rock the lichens mossed	T
While around us foliage tossed	T
Coins gold minted of the sun	W
Then arose and a ravine	X
Which a torrent once had worn	Y
Made our roadway to the corn	Y
In the valley deep and green	X
And the farm house with its bees	G
Where old fashioned flowers spun	W
Gay rag carpets in the sun	W
Hid among the apple trees	G
Here we watched the twilight fall	Z
O'er Wolf Mountain sunset made	T
A huge rhododendron rayed	T
Round the sun's cloud centered ball	Z
Then through scents of herb and soil	A2
To the mining camp we turned	T
In the twinkling dusk discerned	T
With its white washed homes of toil	A2
Ah those nights We wandered forth	B2
On some haunted mountain path	C2
When the moon was late and rathe	D2
The large stars sowed south and north	B2
Splashed with gold the purple skies	G
And the milky zodiac	E2
Rolled athwart the belted black	E2
Seemed a path to Paradise	G
And we walked or lingered till	F2
In the valley land beneath	G2
Like the vapor of a breath	H2
Breathed in frost arose the still	F2
Architecture of the mist	T
And the moon dawn's necromance	G
Touched the mist and made it glance	G
Like a town of amethyst	T
Then around us sharp and brusque	I2
Night's shrill insects strident strung	J2
Instruments that buzzed and sung	J2
Pixy music of the dusk	I2
And we seemed to hear soft sighs	G
And hushed steps of ghostly things	G
Fluttered feet or rustled wings	G
Moved before us Fire flies	G
Gleaming in the tangled glade	T
Seemed the eyes of warriors	G
Stealing under watching stars	G
To some midnight ambuscade	T
To the Indian village there	A
Wigwamed with the mist that slept	T
By the woodland side whence crept	T
Shadowy Shawnees of the air	A
When the moon rose like a cup	K2
Lay the valley brimmed with wine	L2
Of mesmeric shade and shine	L2
To the moon's pale face held up	K2
As she rose from out the mines	G
Of the eastern darkness night	T
Met her clad in dewy light	T
'Mid Pine Mountain's sachem pines	G
As from clouds in pearly parts	G
Her serene circumference grew	A
Home we turned And all night through	A
Dreamed the dreams of happy hearts	G
