Página 57 - THE shades of night were falling fast, As through an Alpine village passed A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice, A banner with the strange device, Excelsior!

And lo! from the assembled crowd There rose a shout, prolonged and loud, That to the ocean seemed to say, " Take her, O bridegroom, old and gray, Take her to thy protecting arms, With all her youth and all her charms!
