I am wed, but not to flesh
The mountain calls and the blood in me
Leaps like a passionate wind-blown spray
That is whipped and lashed by a homing sea.
I am bound, but not as men
Would know, or care if they understood,
I am held by a lofty hill
My heart bleeds out its dream in a wood.
I am wed, to the peaks and the heights
Oh I would sing where the sun laughs last
Nothing is mine, yet all I hold
Future and present and grinning past.
