Excerpt from Lake Chocorua

Lake Chocorua

Weary of ocean's restless tides,
I climbed Chocorua's rugged sides
Where all is fixed and motionless,
And solemn calm the senses bless.
There on his lofty pyramid
Heaven is near and earth more hid;
There slowly comes the summer night,
And shine the stars with brighter light;
While on Chocorua lake below
As in another sky they glow.
Dear to me still is that first view
Never again to be as new;
Inexorable our nature's law -
We can not see what first we saw.
Yet, lest it pass from memory's hold,
I paint as picture and as thought
The Mount, the Lake and all inwrought
