975 <br /> <br />The Mountain sat upon the Plain <br />In his tremendous Chair— <br />His observation omnifold, <br />His inquest, everywhere— <br /> <br />The Seasons played around his knees <br />Like Children round a sire— <br />Grandfather of the Days is He <br />Of Dawn, the Ancestor—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mountain-sat-upon-the-plain/
