A MOUNTAIN VIEW by JAMES HERVEY HYSLOP

First Line: NO LONELINESS CAN COME IN WOOD OR FELL
Last Line: STILLY MOVES THE WILDING HEART IN PASSION THERE.
Subject(s): HEARTS; MOUNTAINS; SOLITUDE; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN); LONELINESS;
NO loneliness can come in wood or fell,
For humming wings stir fondly glen and dell:
The brooks that babble over cliff and stony floor,
At last wind slowly o'er the fenland moor,
And mountain slope in baths of fluid velvet air
Stilly moves the wilding heart in passion there.
