Remain, Mountain! Unbowed, undeterred.

The structure of earth erected with scorn:

Deny the erosion, Mountain, and stand tall in adversity!

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfnM152LC

I see you crumble, slightly day by day,

On my walks through your peaks.

Your trees are dying, Mountain . . .

Reject their death, and breathe their life to me!

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1YlgNxgQQ

The wind hath taken your bow, mountain.

You are no longer a peak, but a shallow depth

Of unspeaking, unknowing, watching

Yourself whither, and die.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vK6HskVxf
