THE MIST, by                    
First Line: Yonder from the mountain side
Last Line: If this were all—the mist and I.
Subject(s): Brides; Love - Marital; Wedded Love; Marriage - Love


Yonder from the mountain side
The gentle mist comes floating down
As if 'twere veil around a bride
To fitly frame her wedding gown.

And as I watch it drawing nigh,
An air of mystery it holds,
And lo! the mount the earth, the tree and sky.
Are hidden in its fleecy folds!

Roll on, O mist, give back to me
The mount, the earth, the tree and sky.
Dreary would existence be
If this were all—the mist and I.
