THE MOUNTAIN SAT UPON THE PLAIN, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Of dawn, the ancestor
Subject(s): Mountains


The Mountain sat upon the Plain
In his tremendous Chair -
His observation omnifold,
His inquest, everywhere -

The Seasons played around his knees
Like Children round a sire -
Grandfather of the Days is He
Of Dawn, the Ancestor
