THE MOUNTAIN SPRING AND OTHER POEMS




THE MOUNTAIN SPRING

_And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely._--Revelation 22:17.


I wandered down a mountain road,
Past flower and rock and lichen gray,
Alone with nature and her God
Upon a flitting summer day.

The forest skirted to the edge
Of Capon river, Hampshire's gem,
Which, bathing many a primrose ledge,
Oft sparkled like a diadem.

At length a silvery spring I spied,
