Great Regulars: Paramahansa Yogananda's poem

"Pikes Peak" from Songs of the Soul dramatizes the majesty of the mountain while inspiring awe that the true nature of the human soul can be united with the Creator of all that beauty.

Because of his inability to speak aloud eloquently, the speaker asks, prayerlike, that his writing, his "books be then the eloquence/And dumb presagers of my speaking breast." What is in his heart is more important than what his tongue is capable of, he insists.

As readers have seen in the other sonnets that comprise this group, the speaker is well aware of his talent for composing poetry.
