Emily Dickinson: The Mountain

E m i l y   D i c k i n s o n

(1830-1886)

 

T h e   M o u n t a i n

 

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.
