FROM MOUNTAIN-SLOPES, by                    
First Line: I climb through terraced gardens, see below
Last Line: Demand that love prepare their day of peace.
Subject(s): Mountains; Sonnet (as Literary Form); Hills; Downs (great Britain)


I climb through terraced gardens, see below
A turquoise, crescent-shaped, with pearly wedge.
Across the valley, clouds caress the edge
Where flowers that cling to higher levels, grow.
A spring, new-born of gentle Mother Snow,
Now fills my cup -- I drink a solemn pledge
To help erase the human sacrilege
That hides creation's glory, dims its glow.
Where thirsty millions pace the ugly streets;
Where beauty-loving thousands go unfed
And overburdened children need release,
I bring the greetings sent from far retreats
For every mountain slope and river-bed
Demand that love prepare their day of peace.
