Poet, man of rare piety, lover of nature and a true friend to all men
Easter morning 1913 and 1927 on this mountain at sunrise he here read his beautiful poem "God of the Open Air"



"And then on Eastr morn, his victory won,

breaking the mortal bars that sealed the tomb,

in a fair garden filled with flowers abloom,

the risen Jesus met the rising sun"
