Lake Mohonk
Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, NY

Lake Mohonk
Mysterious, how lake reflections paint the sight
of this magnificent resort built on its shore,
near steep, stone rugged cliffs that double in sunlight;
a masterpiece of nature's wonderful decor.
The depth and beauty of this sparkling lake excite
the climbers to achieve a treetop view surprise,
and walk the winding nature trails at first daylight
to see this tranquil clear blue water as their prize.
Aboard a rowboat or canoe, one happily
can spot the trout...colorful fish with orange stripes.
And peaceful too...to drift along the shore and see
the beauty of the trees and plants of varied types.
Top of a mountain is this lovely Mohonk Lake
revered by visitors today and long ago.
Soft nature's sounds and sapphire loveliness, opaque
beneath reflective imagery, set hearts aglow.
