Mount Hamilton * Poem by Ina D. Coolbrith

Mount Hamilton *



Through the still darks, the searchers, from this height,
Vigil the wheeling worlds upon their course;
He, its name-giver, seeking supreme light
Beyond the stars, sought and beheld their source.

* Site of the Lick Observatory, named for the Reverend
Laurentine Hamilton, who died in Oakland, California in 1882.
