Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Upon the mountain's distant head | A |
| With trackless snows for ever white | B |
| Where all is still and cold and dead | A |
| Late shines the day's departing light | B |
| - | |
| But far below those icy rocks | C |
| The vales in summer bloom arrayed | D |
| Woods full of birds and fields of flocks | C |
| Are dim with mist and dark with shade | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis thus from warm and kindly hearts | E |
| And eyes where generous meanings burn | F |
| Earliest the light of life departs | E |
| But lingers with the cold and stern | F |
