Title:     Preston Powers, Inscription For Bass-Relief
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier [More Titles by 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.

[The end]
John Greenleaf Whittier's poem: Preston Powers, Inscription For Bass-relief
