Forest, Rock, and Stream / A series of twenty steel line-engravings

by Nathaniel Parker Willis

Let me forget the cares I leave behind,

And with an humble spirit bow before

The Maker of these everlasting hills.

Bayard Taylor.

THE FERRY-BOAT.

Wrecks of clouds of a sombre gray,

Like the ribbed remains of a mastodon,

Were piled in masses along the west,

And a streak of red stretched over the sun.
