The Mind
XXVI. There was set before me a mighty hill
From The Black Riders and Other Lines (1895)
The Mind
There was set before me a mighty hill,
And long days I climbed
Through regions of snow.
When I had before me the summit-view,
It seemed that my labor
Had been to see gardens
Lying at impossible distances.
