IN MEAi€l2l % i PROFESSOR CLARENCE H. POAGE GOD ' S FOOTSTEPS The purple haze on Buffalo, The vapor floating high, The pictures in the vale below. Their image in the sky. All these combine to please and bless And fill my soul with thankfulness. If with His brush and colors rare The artist paints this view, |iS a And puts such pictures in the air With tints that are so true. Shall I deny His deity And say that chance paints what I see? The subtle spell of such a scroll Can fill me all ivith awe. And call from out my inmost soul Respect for love and law; The hand that spreads those colors there Inspires my soul to breathe a prayer. Vi % ff On Buffalo and up above I Lie mist and purple haze; I ' m sure that One whom I could love Ij Has traced, in all these ways, I His footsteps, which are those of One i Who made the earth and stars and sun. No artist puny e ' er could trace One-halj the colors rare That He has lavished on this place And mingled with this air; So God is here, right ivell I know His footsteps are on Buffalo. About 1920, while teaching at Milligan College, Professor Poage was inspired to write this poem on the grandeur and subdued beauty of Buffalo Valley and Buffalo Mountain.
