Excerpt from Word Pictures: Prose and Verse The Finger Of Old Torch The Finger Of Old Torch Of all the waters cradled by their shores, In rivers, lakes and seas and earth's spring pores, The silvers, azures, em'ralds of Torch Lake, In its bravura numbers, And in its placid slumbers, No more poetic dream the artist's brush may wake. Between the ranging hills the waters play, Reflecting all the glories of the day, And if 'tis forest's wilds one loves the best, Old Torch just marks the changes, And parts the wooded ranges That skirt its verdant borders East and West. How often, when I've thought of peace and rest, I've found them both on Torch's billowed breast, Until one eve I saw a finger there, Just point in one direction - Just point without deflection - I saw it in the water and the air.
