A mountain hides within itself
This message grand and true,
Which at my bidding came to-day
For me to give to you:
"Drink deep of Nature's sweetest life,
While learning how to wait.
Stand strong against the tempest's strife,
Not questioning the fate.
Then shalt thou live above the din
Of petty things below,
Absorbing depths of life within,
The future to o'erflow."
At the foot of Mount Holyoke.
