When morn with its splendor illumines the sky
Save where a star lingers to watch the night die
And the gray shrouding mist from the valley uprolled
Is changed by the sun to an ocean of gold
That bears on its bosom cloud land as fair
As ever took shape in the realms of the air;
Ah! who that, enraptured, has gazed on the scene
Can forget the bright valleys and hills of McKean?
-The Reporter Jan. 31, 1890 - Mrs. Jennie E. Groves-
