She Walks Alone

She walks alone against the dusky sky,


With something of the manner of a queen-


Her gesturing peaks, imperious and high;


Her snowy brow, serene.


 


Under her feet, a tapestry of pine;


Veiling her marble figure, purple haze,


Draped with a scarf of clouds at timber-line,


In a billowy silken maze.
