Verse 8

View the three stories of Mitchell

As you walk the beating of the world

At a distance in time

From three who lived there

At a distance in space

From woman, with harpsichord

Silently playing

Step on nature

Cast in copper

Ascend the 92 steps

After climbing the grand 200

Pass the compass and reach

The foot of the culvert

Below the bridge

Walk 100 paces

Southeast over rock and soil

To the first young birch

Pass three, staying west

You’ll see a letter from the country

Of wonderstone’s hearth

On a proud, tall fifth

At its southern foot

The treasure waits.
