MOUNT EVEREST by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AS IN THE FURNACE FARED THE HOLY FEET
Last Line: IS THINE ETERNAL CHASTITY OF SNOW.
Subject(s): EVEREST, MOUNT;
As in the furnace fared the holy feet,
Unblemished by the sevenfold fervor, so,
Nearest the sun, cold-whitening in heat,
Is thine eternal chastity of snow.
