Glimpses of Mount Erin's Rich Heritage

MOUNT ERIN

 

She stands upon her hill,

Starlight and sun about her;

With hers and Heavenly Will

That still the foolish doubter.

 

Quiet she has and peace;

And faith that pleading asks

never to fail, or cease

In its appointed task!

 

So I have seen her ever,

Long years ago - again -

A prayer in stone forever;

A prayer of hearts.  AMEN

 

The stone is of brick - but out of the weather and years, it has become a stone in quality.

M.G. 8 November 1947
