Which, in their midst, I could not even see;

And some look small which used to terrify.

Blessed these heights of freedom, wisdom, rest!

I will go higher yet.

A sea of cloud

Rolls soundless waves between me and the world.

This is the zone of everlasting snows,

And the sweet silence of the hills below

Is song and laughter to the silence here.

Great fields, huge peaks, long awful slopes of snow.
