WITH THE MAJESTY OF MOUNTAINS, by                    
First Line: Winds cry to the peaks; trees hush, elate
Last Line: My stript soul is lifted ... A new tongue I speak.
Subject(s): Mountains; Wandering & Wanderers; Hills; Downs (great Britain); Wanderlust; Vagabonds; Tramps; Hoboes


Winds cry to the peaks; trees hush, elate
To an old note calling; crumpled leaves, dead,
Stir their little mounds; so, in silver net
Of four corners, life, made and re-made,
Of long-buried death. Fretful the stream,
Its fret of far snows begotten and chilled;
Of lost spring, its echo; of bubble, of brim,
Once only to vagabond Star was revealed.

So walk the gods softly—where tall pines lean
To their footfalls' music; from dark sleep awake,
A bird spills its heart; crashing shard of its pain
My stript soul is lifted ... a new tongue I speak.
