A poem by Alfred Castner King

The Spirit Of Freedom Is Born Of The Mountains

________________________________________________
Title:     The Spirit Of Freedom Is Born Of The Mountains
Author: Alfred Castner King [More Titles by King]

The spirit of freedom is born of the mountains,
In gorge and in canon it hovers and dwells;
Pervading the torrents and crystalline fountains,
Which dash through the valleys and forest clad dells.

The spirit of freedom, so firm and impliant,
Is borne on the breeze, whose invisible waves
Descend from the mountain peaks, stern and defiant--
Created for freemen, but never for slaves.






[The end]
