THE DAWNING.

By Geo. A. Snyder

As I look from out my window, When night's veil has been withdrawn There I see a snow-capped summit Kissed by golden light of dawn; And the sunbeams' orient splendor, Driving out the shades of night, Weaves the mantle of the morning O'er the mountain tall and white.

Like the mountain's snowy summit Reared in majesty sublime, So the principles of freedom Towering o'er the wrecks of time, Will live on thruout the ages In the light of fadeless day, When the shadows of oppression Have forever passed away.

Many bright prophetic sunbeams, Shining from the sacred page, Herald forth the coming glory Of a brighter, better age. Even now o'er gray horizon Shine some beams of glory bright; Like the fingers of the morning Pointing to the land of light. Geo. A. Snyder.
