The Paps Of Dana (The Rocky Road To Dublin)
The mountains stand and stare around, They are far too proud to speak; Altho' they're rooted in the ground, Up they go, peak after peak, Beyond the tallest tree, and still Soaring over house and hill Until you'd think they'd never stop Going up, top over top, Into the clouds, Still I mark That a sparrow or a lark Flying just as high, can sing As if he'd not done anything. I think the mountains ought to be Taught a little modesty.
