Cascade Canyon from Jenny Lake

Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Two: Nature

LXXII

THE MOUNTAIN sat upon the plain
In his eternal chair,
His observation omnifold,
His inquest everywhere.

The seasons prayed around his knees,
Like children round a sire:
Grandfather of the days is he,
Of dawn the ancestor.
