Summer
Language: English
I will to the mountain Along cool trails amid the glaciers And Alpine meadows framed wilarch And the red Indian Paint Brush. I will to the mountains And to the lakes of melted jade Where the forest broods in stained reflection Under crystalline skies There overhead steep jagged Cliffs Rear their defiant shields, Aeons of snow, against the shafts of July suns.
