A trembling, tim'rous band Awaits the order to advance. A guide Is given to direct our way, to show The paths which we must follow, those that lead Up to the mountainls height. Too soon it comes, The order to advance. Led by our guide VVe start upon our journeyg the ascent Is difficult and slowg the narrow paths Are rough and steep.

Day by day, we onward climb A little higher, till our tired feet Accustomed grow to the steep, siony path. Now we begin to gaze at Nature's realm, At the luxuriaut foliage of the trees That all around us stand. Then speaks our guide. Bidding us gaze afar. Far, far below Vast meadows lie, and Fields one mingled maze Ninety-one
