Vly banner's folds were spread unto The mountain breeze that softly blew. I dared the wilds, and with my train Sought only sun-swept heights to gain; Determined on a conquering race, To climb, to win the victor's place; To break opposing boulders down And fight to gain the summit's crown. I asked not how my life could bear The thunder-storms that beat up there; Enough that I was young and brave, Sufficient thought myself to save! E. H. A.
