"The Camper" by E. Pauline Johnson
grim:
Naught but the starlight lies 'twixt heaven, and
him.
Of man no need has he, of God, no prayer;
He and his Deity are brothers there.
Above his bivouac the firs fling down
Through branches gaunt and black, their needles
brown.
Afar some mountain streams, rockbound and fleet
Sing themselves through his dreams in cadence
sweet,
The pine trees whispering, the heron's cry,
The plover's passing wing, his lullaby.
And blinking overhead the white stars keep
Watch o'er his hemlock bed—his sinless sleep.
