Helena Coleman - Among the Mountains lyrics

As far as sight could reach the wild peaks rose, Tier after tier against the limpid blue, Titanic forms that stormed the heavens anew At every turn, crowned with imperial snows; And then, as day sank softly to its close, Diaphanous, ethereal they grew, Mere wraiths of rainbow-mist that from our view, Dream-laden, lapsed to darkness and repose. And suddenly I found my vision blurred, And knew that deeper chord was touched again Which once in Hungary, when I had heard A pa**ionately wild, appealing strain Of gypsy music, left me strangely stirred With incommunicable joy and pain.
