O’er topless hills in endless song!

PILOT MOUNTAIN

O Jomeokee, thou everlasting guide,

Lifting high thyself, a tower strong

For passing men, and deathless hills around;

For Yadkin and on-flowing Ararat,

Bathing thy feet in humblest gratitude;

Thy lofty head, embraced by cooling clouds,

Gives something forth that’s rich, and unto all—

O Pilot old, thy secret bare to me.
