FROM THE VALLEY, by                    
First Line: Learning is a mountain
Last Line: Are grass beneath your feet.


Learning is a mountain
I shall never climb
Much above the talus
Rolled down by steps sublime.

Lord, it must be lonely
Where the great souls grow
High above the timberline
Where no rose can go.

And yet ... it may be lovely ...
O Lord, it must be sweet
To be where the tall pines
Are grass beneath your feet.
