Snow-Capped Mountain

Title:     Snow-Capped Mountain
Author: Hilda Conkling [More Titles by Conkling]

Snow-capped mountain, so white, so tall,
The whole sea
Must stand behind you!

Snow-capped mountain, with the wind on your forehead,
Do you hold the eagles' nests?

Proud thing,
You shine like a lily,
Yet with a different whiteness;
I should not dare to venture
Up your slippery towers,
For I am thinking you lean too far
Over the Edge of the World!

[The end]
Hilda Conkling's poem: Snow-Capped Mountain
