Song of Day in Yosemite Valley
Hark—the heart-broken cry of a great Soul!—
Nay, the tempestuous song of Heaven's organ throbbing wild peace through the sky and land!
The Shout of Hell wedded to the Silence of Heaven completes the Valley concert, forms the true symphony—
The Female-light kissing the breast of the the Male-shadow chants the sacred Union!
I, a muse from the Orient, where is revealed the light of dawn
Harken to the welcome strains of genii from the heart of the great Sierras—
I repose under the forest-boughs that invoke the Deity's hymn from the Nothing-air.
