MOUNTAIN AIR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tell me of progress if you will
Last Line: And leave me sun and mountain air!
Alternate Author Name(s): Sinjohn, John
Subject(s): Mountains; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


TELL me of Progress if you will,
But give me sunshine on a hill --
The grey rocks spiring to the blue,
The scent of larches, pinks, and dew,
And summer sighing to the trees,
And snowy breath on every breeze.
Take towns and all that you'll find there,
And leave me sun and mountain air!
