　　the moutains stand and stare around，

　　they are far too proud to speak，

　　altho'they are rooted in the ground

　　up they go，peak after peak，

　　before the tallest house，and still

　　soaring over tree and hill

　　until you'd think they'd never stop

　　going up，top over top，

　　into the clouds——still i mark

　　that a sparrow pr a lark¹

　　flying just as high can sing

　　as if he'd not done anything.

　　i think the mountains ought to be

　　taught a little modesty².

　　山岳巍然，雄视八荒，

　　气象庄严，无声无响，

　　植根大地，负势竟上。

　　洪涛排空，群峰低昂，

　　超越宫殿，凌彼森岗，

　　高入云表，争霸争王，

　　不思举止，徒逞豪强。

　　我观云鸟，载翱载翔，

　　飞抵上苍，尽情歌唱，

　　自由自在，毫不夸张。

　　告彼山岳，宜稍谦让，

　　戒骄戒躁，好自思量。
