Another View of Mountains

The next installment for National Poetry Month is a piece by an English poet, Elizabeth Bridges.  The mountainous theme is apropos for those of us living next door to the Rocky Mountains.

Verse 16. by Elizabeth Bridges The mountains beckon me             To endure the storms, The valleys offer me         Rest in their long arms. In dreamy forests         Have I ever dreams, Whispering my secrets         To whispering streams, And what can I do now         When glad Spring's abroad But leap, and merrily         Laugh and shout aloud!
