Solitude

Mountains occupy my mind

I crave the solitude,

Upon their lofty heights I find

Peace, and lifted mood.

The echoing of jousting crows

A skylark's warbling call,

Sunshine playing across a tarn

I find such joy in all.

Out there on the mountainside

Is where I long to be.

Among the rugged crags and peaks,

I need no company.
