James Sheridan Knowles

“ How high you lift your heads into the sky!
How huge you are! how mighty and how free!
Ye are the things that tower, that shine-whose smile
Makes glad---whose frown is terrible---whose forms,
Robed or unrobed, do all the impress wear
Of awe divine. ”

“ To walk these hills and look up to my God
And bless him that it was so. It was free---
From end to end, from cliff to lake 'twas free!
Free as our torrents are that leap our rocks,
And plough our valleys, without asking leave ”
