Excerpt from From Lone Mountain to Twin Peaks: In Memory of Richard Realf, "Poet, Social Pioneer, Emancipator"
Forgot of the green generations, He sleeps in the pale of the Past, Brave heart that could never surrender To Sorrow, but broke at the last.
He sleeps? Nay, he holds his last outpost Far-found on Lone Mountain's great breast, As ever, the Valiant, defending The Grand Army Line at its crest.
As one for whom Memory dowers The land that grew free thro' his deeds, His Song of his Sword all my spirit, Awakens and quickens and leads.
So there on Lone Mountain I seek him, To hear, like a call from the heights, His echoing song-pulses throbbing And thrilling for nobler new rights.
