Note

Richardson's Poem "Promise of the Sierra". There is no death; love paid the debt; Tho' moons may wane and men forget, The mountain's heart beats on for aye; Who truly loved us cannot die. And so I wait, noor fear the tide That comes so swiftly on to hide My little light. The mountains go low; I have their promise and I know.
