A Tribute to Mount Cook
Your God-wrought peak that stands alone ~ Defies the warring ages; gainst your icy brow has blown The futile blast which ne’er has shown A trace upon your glist’ning throne From battles that it wages. Your Titan ramparts deep are scarred By cliff and grim rock masses, Where virgin snow-fields lie unmarred, Where threat’ning ice-walls stand on guard, While gleaming. glaciers are starred And slashed by blue crevasses. With gentle kiss the lightest cloud Your cheek may be caressing, Or blizzard’s icy-fingers shroud Yet leaves your hoary head unbow’d, Invincible, unbeaten, proud, Your kingship well expressing.
