64 West Peak, and What It Saith. 



Ye who oft climb my summit fair, 



And clamber o'er my fallen stones, 

 Yourselves for every change prepare — 



Ye climb my summit oi' er my bones. 



Mountains and mortals must decay ; 



Crumble alike like grains of sand , 

 And when all else has passed away, 



The Mount of Truth alone will stand.

 Hanging Hills of Meriden," as given in Davis' History of Meriden, pp. 53-66.]
