His Paradise

So on he fares, to meet the mountains

where the snow crowns the mighty peaks

On he fares, to the heavenly heights

beyond the shades of the mountain ranks.

Nearer is the steep wilderness

of which men sing songs forever

Nearer are the Cedar and Pine

and the sylvan scene unfurls.

Verdurous walls of the mother nature

expand to the greater miles

Smiles at them with joy in his eyes

In love with each other, mountains and him.

In the silver shadows of the loftiest mountains

spread is the carpet of greens

Clouds stand bespeak of the garden

where his paradise lies.
