EXCELSIOR The shades of night were falling fast, As through an Alpine village passed ' A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice, A banner with the strange device, Excelsior! His brow was sad, his eye beneath, ' Flashed like a falchion from its sheath, And like a silver clarion rung The accents of that unknown tongue, Excelsior! In happy homes he saw the light Of household fires gleam warm and bright Above, the spectral glaciers shone, And from his lips escaped a groan, Excelsior! Try not the Pass! the old man saidg HDark lowers the tempest overhead, The roaring torrent is deep and wide!W And loud that clarion voice replied, Excelsior! NO stay,H the maiden said, Hand rest Thy weary head upon this breastln ' A tear stood in his bright blue eye, But still he answered, with a sigh, Excelsior! NBeware the pine tree's withered branch! Beware the awful avalancheln This was the peasant's last Good-night, A voice replied far up the height, Excelsior! At break of day, as heavenward The pious monks of Saint Bernard Uttered the oft-repeated prayer, A voice cried through the startled air, Excelsior! A traveler, by the faithful hound, Half-buried in the snow was found, Still grasping in his hand of ice ' That banner with the strange device, Excelsior! There in the twilight cold and gray, Lifeless, but beautiful, he lay,' And from the sky, serene and far, A voice fell, like a falling star Excelsior! --Longfellow
