The mountain is powerful, all knowing and wise.
Let’s break down the poem;
The first line ‘the mountain sat upon the plain in his eternal chair’ invokes a feeling of infinite power. By saying he sits upon the plain it makes the plain seem smaller, and by calling his chair eternal it invokes the feeling that time will pass and the world around it will change but the mountain it’s self will not.
The second line, ‘his observation omnifold’ is saying that he sees all. This line invokes a feeling of a mountain that knows all.
The third line says, ‘his inquest everywhere’ saying he asks all the questions, once again invoking feelings of great knowledge and godlike wisdom.
The forth line, ‘the seasons prayed around his knees’ saying that something as powerful as seasons themselves now pray to the mountain.
The fifth line continues off the fourth line saying, ‘like children round a sire:’ this once again invokes feelings of how something as powerful as seasons are like children to the great mountain.
The sixth and seventh line, ‘grandfather of days is he, of dawn the ancestor’ shows how once again time is nothing to the mountain, as it is more powerful.
All this together invokes feelings of power, knowledge, and wisdom.
