O, mountain that was God to Nature's child,
What human words can paint thee as thou art?
Majestic, vast, pale, wonderful and wild;
In cold sublimity, a thing apart;
Chiding the follies of the human heart.
Gigantic miracle of Nature's hand,
Before whom man is but a paltry clod,
Spreading the mighty base across the land
And lifting high thy crown up toward the throne
of God.
(From the poem "Mount Rainier"
by John Lamb.)
