THE NYMPHS OF THE CASCADES.
By Sam L. Simpson.
(Dedicated to the memory of
George E. Strong, a brilliant young
Journalist, formerly of the Oregonian
staff, who, lmaginig that he heard
beautiful strains of music and sweet
voices calling him, wandered away
from a camp in the Cascade mountains
while his companions were sleeping
and was utterly lost, no trace of him
dead or alive having ever been
found.)
The camp fire, like a red night rose,
Blossomed beneath a gloomy fir;
When weary men in deep repose,
Heard not the gentle night wind
stir.
The priestly robes high over head
Heard not the wild brook's wailing
song,
Nor any nameless sounds of dread,
Which to the midnight woods be
long. The moon sailed on a golden bark,
Astray In lilied purple seas;
And forest shadows weirdly dark.
Were peopled with all mysteries;
And all was wild and drear and
strange
xVround that lonely bivouac,
Where mountains, rising range on
range
Shouldered the march of progress
back.
The red fire's fluttering tongues of
flame,
Whispered to brooding darkness
there,
And spectral shapes without a name
Were hovering In the haunted air;
And from the fir tree's inner shade,
A drear owl, sobbing forth his rune
Kept watch and mounrful homage
paid
At Intervals unto the moon.
The travelers dreamed on serene,
' Save one, whose brow, curl-swept,
I Was damp from agony within;
! Who tossed and murmured as he
i slept,
The fretful fire-light on his face,
Wavered and danced In fitful play,
Until the old enchanting grace
Of young ambition on It lay.
The glamor of the rosy light
The heavy lines concealed.
And trembling shadows of the night
Beyond him, like sad spirits, kneel
ed; For his had been the lustress gift
Of genius lent by God to fow,
The splendid Jewel wrought by swift
Angelic art of fire and dow.
But like the pearl of Egypt's queen,
Twas drowned In pleasure's crim
son cup,
And lo, Its amethystine sheen,
In baleful vapors curling up,
Soon wreathed his brain In that dark
spell,
That has no kindred seal of woo;
And phantoms that with Oreus dwell,
In mystic dance swept to and fro.
Swept to and fro and maddened him
With gestures wild and taunts and I
Jeers,
And waved the withered chaplets
dim
That he had worn In flowory years;
His spirit furled its shining wings,
Never ngnln to sing and soar.
And wove all wild Imaginings
In shapes of horror overmore.
The sleeper started, partly raised
Upon his elbow, leaned awhile,
And deep into the darkness gazed
With wistful eyes and brightened
smile:
"I hear sweet music over there,
The mountain nymphs are calling
me."
He murmured, "How divlno an nlr.
"Oh. soul of mine. Is wooing thee."
"Coming!" He whispered, and arose,
And hi the air first reached a hand,
To clasp a spirit? No one knows,
Or where he stood can ovor stand
And lo. into the heavy night.
As led by hands unseen, ho fleil,
A Rtartllng figure, clad in white
Into the canyons dark and dread.
'Twas years ago. but trace or track
Of him has never yet been found,
For echo only answered back
The hunter's cull and baying
hound ;
Forever lost, untrncked, unseen,
In the upheaved and wild Cascades, ,
Forever lost, untracked unseen I
A shadow now among the shades
From some snow -wreathed and shin-;
lng peak
His soul swam starward long ago.
And now no more we vainly seek,
The secret of his fate to know.
While fires of sunset and of dawn
Flame red and fade on many, a
height,
The myst'ry will not be withdrawn
From him, long lost from human sight.
And yet I sometimes sit and dream
Of him. my schoolmate and my
friend.
As wandering where bright waters
gleam,
In some sweet life that has no end
Within the Cascades' inner walls.
Where nymphs, beyond all fancy
fair,
Soothe him with siren madrigals,
And deck him with their golden
hair.
