MOUNTAINS, by                    
First Line: Somber ... Mysterious ... I love them
Last Line: And is heard through the heart alone.
Subject(s): Mountains; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


Somber . . . Mysterious . . . I love them,
Who have never longed for the sea --
The symbol of eternal silence,
Yet they speak through my heart to me.

The sea has its moods . . . as a woman
Tosses gems in her foam-white hands,
Its wrath -- that of ten thousand demons,
Its calm -- Time asleep on the sands.

God gave His commands on a mountain,
The echo of His mighty tone --
Still lives . . . in their eternal silence,
And is heard through the heart alone.
