Aloof as if a thing of mood and whim | C |
Now that its spare and desolate figure gleams | D |
Upon my nearing vision less it seems | D |
A looming Alp height than a guise of him | C |
Who scaled its horn with ventured life and limb | C |
Drawn on by vague imaginings maybe | E |
Of semblance to his personality | E |
In its quaint glooms keen lights and rugged trim | C |
- | |
At his last change when Life's dull coils unwind | F |
Will he in old love hitherward escape | G |
And the eternal essence of his mind | F |
Enter this silent adamantine shape | G |
And his low voicing haunt its slipping snows | H |
When dawn that calls the climber dyes them rose | H |
