Far Top
I saw a mountain from afar
Looming beneath the evening star.
Mutely it called for me to go
As it faded in day’s last glow.
From a clear lake beside its base
It soared up where eagles don’t dare.
My climb was steep; I did not care.
I reached the peak, edging blue space.
Alone I stood on that far top
Like the lord of a vast domain.
Happy I was but could not stop:
Yet more mountains beyond remain.
