Tinted Mountains

Song Cycle by Leo Smit (1921 - 1999)

1. The Mountain sat upon the Plain  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
The mountain sat upon the plain
In his eternal chair,
His observation omnifold,
His inquest everywhere.

The seasons prayed around his knees,
Like children round a sire:
Grandfather of the days is he,
Of dawn the ancestor.
