There Winter Lonely Fallows Deeply Dream

There Winter Lonely Fallows Deeply Dream Long after that ripe golden sunset gleam Cool silvery tones, wavering light; Then winter lonely fallows deeply dream Into the grayish ghostliness of night. Far off, yet looming bold and strangely near, Within starry heavens they are aureoled, Forested mountain-ranges far westward rear Their high guardian towers as of old. And lo! above their ancient stormy deeps, In pensive grandeur, icy frozen browed, One glorious forest summit there keeps Transcendent vigil alone, pure and proud. And we who see that shining symbol turn A moment's while from its lone transient mood; From that brief moment we clearly discern Our lost souls within Nature's solitude. Robert J.
