Personal Poems Preston Powers, Inscription for Bass-Relief
by John Greenleaf Whittier
For the bass-relief by Preston Powers, carved upon the huge boulder
in Denver Park, Col., and representing the Last Indian and the Last
Bison.
The eagle, stooping from yon snow-blown peaks,
For the wild hunter and the bison seeks,
In the changed world below; and finds alone
Their graven semblance in the eternal stone.
