"O, watched by silence and the night, And folded in the strong embrace Of the great mountains, with the light Of the sweet heavens upon thy face-- "Lake of the Northland! keep thy dower Of beauty still, and while above Thy silent mountains speak of power, Be thou the mirror of God's love." Far over to the westward can be traced the outlet stream, flowing past many lakes and seeking the great river where these pellucid waters do such useful work. Thus has Whittier, from this mountain outlook, sung of the Merrimack: "O child of that white-crested mountain whose springs Gush forth in the shade of the cliff-eagle's wings, Down whose slopes to the lowlands thy cold waters shine, Leaping gray walls of rock, flashing through the dwarf pine. "From that cloud-curtained cradle, so cold and so lone, From the arms of that wintry-locked mother of stone, By hills hung with forests, through vales wide and free, Thy mountain-born brightness glanced down to the sea."
