Another picture by Swift Lathers of the landscape in the Land of Mears .
THE SAND DUNES OF SILVER LAKE There is a lake that lies beside
The ever - changing hills
Whose mass of wind - blown sand
Always shifting tries to slide
Dewn barren slopes that no man tills :
They heed no man's command .
And yet these desert hills are fair
And beautiful they lie
Beside the water's blue .
How splendid is the contrast there ! -
The lake's reflection of the sky ,
The hills of yellow hue !
When the day begins to wake The sun rays getting bold Across the pastures green Light the silence of the lake And turn the hills to gold Beside the opal scene .
All yellow - white you see at noon . A mountain range of sand While the currents of the air Shape anew each separate dune . Is this a scene in Afric's land ? Is that Sahara there ?
When Silver Lake at sunset stills
Its lapping - water - sound ,
When the perfect day is ending Beyond The Golden Hills Behold upon the heaven - ground The red and blue ablending !
The scene upon the other shore With violet lights that stream Those mountains in the west
Is really there ; yet more and more It seems a wondrous dream
Of the Islands of the Blest .
Then one by one the stars appear
And bye and bye the moon's
Soft splendor starts to creep
And light the water near .
She spreads her glory on the dunes And luminous they sleep .

A letter from F. L. Kenyon in Grand Rapid says that they have just moved into very satisfactory quarters .
