LEONTOPODIUM 



(Coiilinned from f'ugc 69J ) 



Onward the toilsome path leads steep and high. 

 No chasm too wide, no rock wall causes fear. 

 His jubilant cry betrays, the goal is near, 

 (^h Joy, from momitain's brows to wrest 

 ']"hc lulclweiss to deck his true love's breast. 



I'rom yuiuler dale, below, a silvery knell; 

 A mountain-son conveys his last farewell. 

 A village jiriest, kneeling a prayer savs : 

 .\ soul w ith his creator face to face. 

 Mortal remains entwined bv flowers wait 

 Till carried gently through the churchyard gate: 

 And faithful friends with sadness in their eyes 

 Drop in his grave their starry Edelweiss.
