Song of Day in Yosemite Valley
O hail, brother mortal! the true joy is revealed unto thee—
Be thou a wave ebbing and flowing with the air of Heaven!
Behold! The genii of the forest chant Peace unto the Lord from an unknown shrine in the Valley temple.
O mighty chapel of God! Thou knowest not an iron chariot stained with hostile blood;—
Aye, idle spears and foolish shields dare not ruin thee, proclaiming War in Eternity!
