TO MY FRIEND JOHN FOX JR	A
	-
	-
You remember the deep mist	B
Climbing to the Devil's Den	C
Blue beneath us in the glen	C
And above us amethyst	B
Throbbed and circled and away	D
Thro' the wild woods opposite	E
Torn and shattered morning lit	F
Scurried up a dewy gray	D
Vague as in Romance we saw	G
From the fog one riven trunk	H
Its huge horny talons shrunk	H
Thrust a hungry dragon's claw	G
And we climbed two hours thro'	D
The dawn dripping Jellicoes	G
To that wooded rock that shows	G
Undulating peaks of blue	I
The vast Cumberlands that sleep	J
Weighed with soaring forests far	D
To the concave welkin's bar	D
Leagues on leagues of purple sweep	J
Range exalted over range	K
Billowed their enormous spines	G
And we heard the priestly pines	G
Hum the wisdom of their change	K
We were sons of Nature then	C
She had taken us to her	D
Closer drawn by brier and burr	D
There on lonely Devil's Den	C
We were pupils of her moods	G
Taught the beauties of her loins	G
In those bloom anointed coignes	G
Love in her eternal woods	G
How she bore or flower or bud	L
Pithed the wiry sapling oak	M
In the long vine zeal awoke	M
Aye to climb a leafy flood	L
Her waste fantasies of birth	N
Sponge like exudations fair	D
Dainty fungi everywhere	D
Bulging from the loamy earth	N
Coral vegetable things	G
Crystals clamily exhaled	O
Bulbous marble ribbed and scaled	O
Vip'rous colored then close rings	G
Of the Indian Pipe that cleft	P
Pink and white the woodland lax	G
Blossoms of a natural wax	G
The brown mountain fairies left	P
We on that parched precipice	G
Stretched beneath the chestnuts' burrs	G
Breathed the balsam of the firs	G
Felt the blue sky like a kiss	G
Soft that heaven stainless as	G
The grand woodlands lunging on	Q
Wound majestic in the sun	R
Or as our devotion was	G
Freedom sat there cragged we saw	G
Freedom whom hoarse forests sang	S
Heaven browed her eyes whence sprang	S
Audience august with law	G
Wildernesses from her hips	G
Sprung the giant forests there	D
Tossed the cataracts from her hair	D
Thunders lightened from her lips	G
Oft some scavenger with vane	T
Motionless above we knew	I
Wheeled thro' altitudes of blue	I
By his rapid shadow's stain	T
Or some cloud of sunny white	U
Puffed a lazy drift of pearl	V
Balmy breezes o'er would whirl	V
Shot with coruscating light	U
So we dreamed an hour upon	Q
Those warm rocks dry lichen scabbed	U
Lounged beneath long leaves that dabbed	U
At us coins of shade and sun	R
Then arose and down some gorge	W
Made a bowldered torrent broad	U
The hurled pathway of our road	U
Tumbled down the mountain large	X
At that farm house which you know	Y
Where old fashioned flowers spun	R
Gay rag carpets in the sun	R
By green apple boughs built low	Y
Rested from our hot descent	U
One deep draught of cider cool	Z
Unctuous our fierce veins to dull	A2
At old Hix's eloquent	U
On Wolf Mountain died the light	U
A colossal blossom rayed	U
With rent petaled clouds that played	U
'Round a calyxed fury bright	U
Down the moist mint scented vale	B2
To the mining camp we turned	U
Thro' the twilight faint discerned	U
With its crowded cabins pale	B2
Ah those nights We wandered forth	C2
On some shadow haunted path	D2
When the moon was late and rathe	E2
The large stars sowed south and north	C2
Clustered bursting heavens down	F2
And the milky zodiac	G2
Rolled athwart the belted black	G2
Myriad million moted shone	H2
And in dreams we sauntered till	I2
In the valley pale beneath	J2
From a dew drop's vapored breath	K2
To faint ghosts there gathered still	I2
Grave creations weird of mist	U
Then we knew the moonrise near	D
As with necromance the air	D
Pulsed to pearl and amethyst	U
Shrilled the insects of the dusk	L2
Grated buzzed and strident sung	M2
Till each leaf seemed tuned and strung	M2
For high Pixy music brusque	L2
Stealing steps and stealthy sighs	G
As of near unhallowed things	G
Rustled hair or fluttered wings	G
Seemed about us then the eyes	G
Of plumed phantom warriors	G
Burned mesmeric from some bush	N2
Mournful in the goblin hush	O2
Then materialized to stars	G
Mantled mists like ambushed braves	G
Chiefed by some swart Blackfoot tall	P2
Stole along each forest wall	P2
Phosphorescent moony waves	G
Then the moon rose from some cup	Q2
Each hill's bowl magnetic shine	R2
Mist and silence poured like wine	R2
Brimmed a monster goblet up	Q2
Ingot from lost orient mines	G
Delved by humpbacked gnomes of Night	U
Full her orb loomed nacreous white	U
O'er Pine Mountain's druid pines	G
As thro' fragmentary fleece	G
Her circumference polished broke	M
Orey seamed about us woke	M
Myths of Italy and Greece	G
Then a chanson serenade	U
You rich voiced to your guitar	D
To our goddess in that star	D
Sang Ne Tempo from the glade	U
