Through the Mountain Parks
by Susie Kerin
If you wish to commune with nature,
And enjoy the environs on western life,
Got out on the Golden road to Lookout
Away from the city and its strife.
On through Genese Park entrancing,
Like Aurora’s mellow lights,
Gleams the beauty of the landscape
Viewed from Panorama Heights.
Onward go, through Bear Creek Canyon,
The Inn, and Lake, near high inclines,
Inviting all to pause and rest,
Is beautiful Troutdale-in-the-Pines.
On again the singing brooklet,
Flowing near the road serene,
Leads a captive sweetly on
To dreams of youth at Evergreen.
Vermont Hills and scenes of childhood,
Memories of the long ago,
Come by wireless through the fragrance
Like a golden afterglow.
Smiling through the years now vanished,
Dreamland forms come back again,
Bringing greetings from the forest
To a soul who listens in.
