AT TIMBERLINE.

Bent with cares of bygone years,
    Lonely, weeping hidden tears,
Fearful, lest the Maker know
    That its heart is aching so
        --In parting.

Calmly watching rising sun
    Patient, till the day is done
Then lo! As night grows old and chilled
    Restless, empty arms are stilled
        -- Forever.

By Aurelia Cor Keefe, creator of
"Verse and Visions of Our Mountain",
and author of many other lovely poems.
