"The Oak on the Mountain's Summit" by Mary Baker Eddy
During the summer of 1882, Mary Baker Eddy spent several weeks in Vermont at the home of one of her students. She had retired there after the sudden passing of her husband, Asa Gilbert Eddy, on June 2. Her stay in Vermont gave her a refuge while she worked through issues of grief and lonliness. On August 2, just days before her return to Boston, she wrote "The Oak on the Mountain's Summit." Considered in the context of her life, the words of this poem take on deeper poignancy and vision, as she finds courage to face the future.
