Ma-hican-ittuck! River of the Mountains, Poured to the sea From Adirondack crags, Buoying the leafy Tribute of your fountains, Rocking the navies Of a hundred flags! Forests are yours, And fair embowered islands; Cities are yours Whose towers touch the skies. Curve grandly down Your goblin-haunted Highlands; Lave, golden-waved, The vale where Irving lies. Deep-breasted stream, What tales your hills have told me! Playmate and friend In days of youthful glow, Now, as of old, In crystal arms enfold me; Take me again Within your cooling flow! Plunging, I watch Your deeper waters changing Gold-lighted green To amethystine shade; Strong-armed and free, Your boundless bosom ranging, My heart in yours Beats warm and unafraid. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOUNTAIN FASTNESS by HAYDEN CARRUTH GREEN MOUNTAIN IDYL by HAYDEN CARRUTH IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
