THE SPIRIT OF THE MOUNTAINS.
Scuu ye a peak 'mid the ranges, Majestic, where peaks are highCradled in billows of sombre mist, Above where the kean flu'.' Yon Js a resting-place, reserved For kin gill folk at one; None but the bravest feet man touch The spirit's throne. Daughters of pine-clad, valleys! Sons of Zealandia free, Children of splendour! The spirit calls. What shall your answer be? Yours is a home in the mountain, However its peaks men/ rise— For ve arc the spirit's heirs, whose throne Cloud-capped in the ranges lies. —John Maclennan.
