Carbon Glacier
Thy open lips of ice doth pour
A gushing stream in noisy flood
A stream released in joyful roar,
Behold: A glacier's milk white blood.
Grind, grind, grind
to crumbling dust these stones!
Grind, grind, grind
The Mountain's shattered bones!
How weak the pen, how vain the brush
To catch the hues of this deep gash!
How here revealed thy power to crush,
How awful is thy breathing's crash.
Grind, grind, grind
The rocks however hurled!
Grind, grind, grind
Thou mill-stone of a world!
New life from death, eternal whirl,
How brief each puny span of life!
How long the atoms, grinding swirl,
Ere seized anew for a season's strife!
Grind, grind, grind
To powder every stone!
Grind, grind, grind
New life will death atone!
I mount thy shoulders' utmost height,
Where threatening ice-cliffs poise and nod,
Where avalanches roar in flight,
Like flying demons cursed of God.
Grind, grind, grind
and grind exceeding fine!
Grind, grind, grind
My Father's will and thine!
Edmund S. Meany
