Oh to breathe the heady, hallowed air, 
listen to the silence of damp, green-glinting glades, 
and warm our feet on mossy, rocky greys. ...this is what it is to be alive! 
Oh yes to share these charmed joys with friends and lovers... 
this is what it is to be alive. 
To read, to sleep, to sleep some more....this is what it is to breathe mountain airs.
