| No website about Hahn's Peak mountain would seem complete without a special dedication to Rose Wheeler, author of a now out-of-print book entitled God's Mountain about the very early days of Hahn's Peak life. The first page of her book is a poem she wrote about Hahn's Peak, dedicated to her husband, children and grandchildren. Here it is: God's Mountain I look up at the mountain, And my soul with rapture fills, For as I gaze, it seems That God is smiling down on me. I look up at God's mountain, It takes away my fears, For my heart is filled with peace again, As I know that He is near. I look up at Hahn's Peak mountain, As it pierces the heavens blue, And I think of our love for each other, And of you so dear and true. Though God has taken you from me, I feel your presence near, As I look up at His mountain, That you always held so dear. (I would like to re-dedicate Rose Wheeler's poem to my own family (the Hartts), who spent summers in the shadow of the mountain for many years - pioneers along side Rose Wheeler's family.) |
