THE BELL The uest Q By HENRX' MEADE BLAND Love traveled far and out of breath, Swift as the summer wind, Far from the precincts of sad Death, And she was fair and kind. She ran afar, she journeyed fast, From morn to dewy even, -- To finish swiftly her sweet quest, As one who seeks a heaven. Singing, she traveled west, far west, Yearning for cool winds blowing, As one who knew she would be blest, Rare words she came a-sowing. And then she paused, and cast an eye, And scanned the white Sierra, She passed with eager look and cry, Those peaks of pure Carrara. She saw great rivers silvering down Through tule wildernesses. She saw new mountains like a crown The moon looks on and kisses. She swept a-cross the glowing light, Unto the seas great wonder, She watched the wild waves surging bright, In rolling whirl and thunder. From redwood green and Shasta snow To sandy Colorado She threw an eager eye, and, lo, She found the Eldorado! She haunted many a flowered vale, VVith friendly rivers flowingg She knew the winds that never failg From Eden they were blowing. She sensed deep down within the earth, A treasure not yet dreamed of: For here she found a marvel worth More than man yet sehemed of. And we who dwell in this demesne, And work and worship ever,- Are resting in her deep serene, And we are hers forever.
