COMING down the mountain road <br /> Light of heart and all alone, <br />I caught from every rill that flowed <br /> A rapture of its own. <br /> <br />Heart and mind sang on together, <br /> Rhymes began to meet and run <br />In the windy mountain weather <br /> And the winter sun. <br /> <br />Clad in freshest light and sweet <br /> Far and far the city lay <br />With her suburbs at her feet <br /> Round the laughing bay. <br /> <br />Like an eagle lifted high <br /> Half the radiant world I scanned, <br />Till the deep unclouded sky <br /> Circled sea and land. <br /> <br />No more was thought a weary load, <br /> Older comforts stirred within, <br />Coming down the mountain road <br /> The earth and I were kin.<br /><br />Enid Derham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mountain-road/
