MOUNTAINEERS, by GEORGE CROLY Poet's Biography
First Line: The mountain-horn shall ring
Last Line: When the hills shake with thunderbolts, -- can tire.
Subject(s): Mountain Climbing
First Line: The mountain-horn shall ring
Last Line: When the hills shake with thunderbolts, -- can tire.
Subject(s): Mountain Climbing
THE mountain-horn shall ring,
And every Alp shall answer; and the caves,
And forest depths and valleys, and the beds
Of the eternal snows, shall pour out tribes
That know no Roman tyrants, -- daring hearts,
Swift feet, strong hands, that neither hunger, thirst,
Nor winter cataracts, nor the tempest's roar,
When the hills shake with thunderbolts, -- can tire.
