At eve I "tool
In dreadful mood
Where roll Kanawha' mighty Hood,
Unruptured, gazed,

While (iuuley'a eka ahove me hlaxcd.
Fold after fold

Its wealth of crimson and of gold,
O'er foam and pray,
And rocka of gray
Around whoee bane fierce eddiea lay.
The mint clomle lift
Ami alowly drift
Along the wild and heeding din,
And gleam and shine
And cling and twine
Around the dark and odoroua pine.
With wrathful might
The wild wave amite
The rocka, and break, foamy and white,
And up and o'er
The craggy ithore
Their great eehoe ceaaeleaa our.
On rocka that aland,
When w ildly grand
The torrent rave on evr ry hand,
Apart from care,
One moment there
I wor"hld iud in thoughtful prayer.
I heard and mw,
With hreathlc awe,
The ungueiwd harmony ol law.
To my w rapt nil

To rocky port in remote.
And laugh and leap,
And darn ing, keep
The time of rhythmic murmuri d.p.
Oh, Nature' child,
Thou torrent wild,
