MOUNTAINEERS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THEY CLIMB WITH EAGER FEET
Last Line: OR NEAR THEY ARE.
Subject(s): MOUNTAIN CLIMBING;

They climb with eager feet,
One east, one west,
As if in haste to meet
Upon the crest;
Yet each alone --
A fate unknown --
Nor deeming one, if either fails, how far
Or near they are.
