There was set before me a mighty hill, <br />And long days I climbed <br />Through regions of snow. <br />When I had before me the summit-view, <br />It seemed that my labour <br />Had been to see gardens <br />Lying at impossible distances.<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-was-set-before-me-a-mighty-hill/
