W. P. Foster

“ There are some days in life so full and free
With self-reliant youth and prophecy,
That in all after-time, when we look back,
They stand like mountain-ranges in the track;
And when life’s sun is setting, long they keep
His splendor lingering on slope and steep.
So seems that day to me, so shines that night
We camped with Burns upon the mountain-height. ”
