Well, we can’t go anywhere without some poems about mountains, so here are a few that are my favourite… Honestly, mountains poems truly make the journey better (emoji)
The Mountain
The mountain sat upon the plain
In his eternal chair,
His observation omnifold,
His inquest everywhere.
— Emily Dickinson
The Mountain May Seem Very High
The mountain may seem very high,
It reaches even to the sky,
And yet the picture holds it all
As well as things quite near and small,
And then the picture’s but a nook
In my small picture reading book.
— Annette Wynne
A Mountain Storm
Our blue sierras shone serene, sublime,
When ghostly shapes came crowding up the air,
Shadowing the landscape with some vast despair;
— Katharine Lee Bates
A Mountain Gateway
I Know a vale where I would go one day,
When June comes back and all the world once more
Is glad with summer. Deep in shade it lies
A mighty cleft between the bosoming hills,
A cool dim gateway to the mountains’ heart.
— Bliss Carman
Rainbow on the Mountain
See—the Sky has lent her jewel
To the Mountain for an hour
Has forgotten to be cruel
In a kind caprice of power
— Ruby Archer
