The Roar of the Mountain
This mountain that roars its release from the ice
From darkness and stillness and absence of life;
now magnet to writers and hikers and westerly clouds
to litterers and spray painters and tramping crowds.
Roar grandly Monadnock, your lesson a tower
of how burdens help bearers rise to the hour.
Roar proudly Monadnock, my great granite friend
of abiding endurance and ability to bend.
Will LaPage (1989)
