The Mountains－grow unnoticed－1
Their Purple figures rise
Without attempt－Exhaustion－
Assistance－or Applause－
In Their Eternal Faces 5
The Sun－with just delight
Looks long－and last－and golden－
For fellowship－at night－
Their Purple figures rise
Without attempt－Exhaustion－
Assistance－or Applause－
In Their Eternal Faces 5
The Sun－with just delight
Looks long－and last－and golden－
For fellowship－at night－
