Look+Out+Mountain

>> **// by: Herman Melville (1819-1891) //** HO inhabiteth the Mountain That it shines in lurid light, And is rolled about with thunders, And terrors, and a blight, Like Kaf the peak of Eblis-- Kaf, the evil height? Who has gone up with a shouting And a trumpet in the night?There is battle in the Mountain-- Might assaulteth Might; 'Tis the fastness of the Anarch, Torrent-torn, an ancient height; The crags resound the clangor Of the war of Wrong and Right; And the armies in the valley Watch and pray for dawning light.Joy, joy, the day is breaking, And the cloud is rolled from sight; There is triumph in the Morning For the Anarch's plunging flight; God has glorified the Mountain Where a banner burneth bright, And the armies of the valley They are fortified in right.
