First Line: The mountains high are white with snow
Last Line: For human pity's sake.
Subject(s): Cold; Rocky Mountain Range; Snow; White (color); Winter
The mountains high are white with snow,
Each pine a drooping plume,
And every dark recess, it seems,
The stars and moon illume.
And still, this beauty, rare, and sweet—
That gives my heart delight—
For others wears the face of death
Or suffering's chilling blight.
As beauty-fed I speed along
Through rows of fairy pines,
By Rocky Mountain's castle towers
Where magic moonlight shines,
I know in town for me there waits
A home that love has made
Of star lit eyes, a cozy hearth,
A lamp with silken shade.
And yet, into my heart there creeps
A little crying ache
That makes a tear fall in my heart
For human pity's sake.
