Joaquin Miller's Home On The Hights
Rugged! Rugged as Parnassus! Rude, as all roads I have trod Yet are steeps and stone-strewn passes Smooth o'erhead, and nearest God. Here black thunders of my canyon Shake its walls in Titan wars! Here white sea-born clouds companion With such peaks as know the stars. Steep below me lies the valley, Deep below me lies the town, Where great sea-ships ride and rally, And the world walks up and down. O, the sea of lights far streaming When the thousand flags are furled When the gleaming bay lies dreaming As it duplicates the world.
