Through the nut-pines I see them, their ridges expanding.

Ye peaks! from celestial sanctities benisons casting,

Ye know not your puissant influence, lifting and lasting;

Nothing factitious, self-conscious or impious bides in you;

On your high serenities

No hollow amenities

Nor worldly impurities cast their dread blight;

August and courageous, you stand for the right;

The gods love you and lend you their soft robes of white.

BAILEY MILLARD,
in Songs of the Press.
