MWM2024.0003.0005Description
Colorized image featuring either a sunset view of the sky from atop Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Also featured on the postcard is a printed poem from Margaret I. Simpson called "The Spirit of Mt. Washington." It reads:
Have you answered the mountain's
summons
In the crimson and gold of fall?
Have you wandered out in the forest
And heard the out-door call?
Have you stood on the mountain's
summit?
And gazed down the sunset's trail,
And watched the mists of the evening
Wrap the silent hills in their veil?
And high in the silent mountains,
As you gaze on the hills below,
The taint of the earth will leave you,
And the pride in your heart will go.
You will see the smile of the Maker,
In the midst of the sentinels grand,
You will get a glimpse of the power
And skill of the Master's hand.
