Lift up the night to awaken 
on this mountainside; 
witness sun-swept slopes between 
glacier and tree, 
watch their shadows march and ride. 
Feel the breeze lick these glassy waters 
on this mountainside; 
feel those lances of wind 
prickle its skin, 
where fish and fly rise and collide 
Suffer the lonely rain clouds who weep 
on this mountainside; 
curse those painful tears that run 
wild with abandon, 
flowing down stream and over rock side 
Put to rest the day to dream 
on this mountainside; 
witness dark-swept slopes between 
glacier and tree, 
watch their shadows march and ride

On this Mountainside
