MAY 22.
ON THE STEPS OF THE LECONTE MEMORIAL LODGE,
YOSEMITE VALLEY.
I wonder not, whether it is well with this true seer,
Who saw, while dwelling in the flesh, foundations strong and broad;
I do not doubt that when he ceased to worship in this temple,
Serene, he passed from beauty unto beauty, from God to God.
