MOUNT EGMONT, FROM MOKOIA.
’Midst gleaming snows thy lone and towering head Does pierce the faint blue sk:es about thee spread; While o’er the lands about thee far below
The races in procession come and go
Maori and Briton pass in turn with time, While thou remain’,st majestic and sublime!
What weird convulsions heavyd thet into light!
What spasms will entomb thee in the
night! Among the aeons thou a spec mayst h< Yet art a measure of Eternity 1 —“Poregrinus,” in the Hawera ‘Star.
