Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Tennessee
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, by Lon A. Warner.
Through the West I've roamed at
leisure
Viewed the Hudson in its flow-
Heard the thund'rings of Niag' ra
And the echoes from below,
But no page in Nature's Album
E'er can be so grand to me
As the view from dear old Lookout
Down in Sunny Tennessee,
Mutely stands-sublime-majestic-
Head erect, high in the air-
Sentinel so grandly valiant
Watching o'er the valley there.
While at night in restful slumber.
Ninety thousand souls repose,
Safe above the circling river,
Where the mighty water flows.
See! Where once the noise of battle
Rent the cloud-protected field,
And with clash of sword and sabre.
Men were crushed and forced to
yield,
Now in peaceful transformation
Life is offered those who live-
Silent tribute from the carnage
Would these heights to mortals give!
Master, thou, of earth and heaven,
None more proud deserves to be!
Noble crest that reaches skyward
Drawing all men unto thee!
Poets bring their choicest Laurels.
Potentates enraptured be.
As they stand on dear old Lookout.
Down in Sunny Tennessee!
