Henry Van Dyke - The GlacierHenry Van Dyke - The Glacier
Work rating: Low


At dawn in silence moves the mighty stream,   The silver-crested waves no murmur make;   But far away the avalanches wake The rumbling echoes, dull as in a dream; Their momentary thunders, dying, seem   To fall into the stillness, flake by flake,   And leave the hollow air with naught to break The frozen spell of solitude supreme. At noon unnumbered rills begin to spring   Beneath the burning sun, and all the walls Of all the ocean-blue crevasses ring   With liquid lyrics of their waterfalls; As if a poet`s heart had felt the glow Of sovereign love, and song began to flow.
