The path is not easy, the climbing is rugged and hard, but the glory at the end is worthwhile.

• Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
  I could see the city light
  Wind was blowing, time stood still
  Eagle flew out of the night
  He was something to observe
  Came in close, I heard a voice
  Standing stretching every nerve
  I had to listen, had no choice

• Aubade THE lark now leaves his wat'ry nest, And climbing shakes his dewy wings. He takes this window for the East, And to implore your light he sings- Awake, awake! the morn will never rise Till she can dress her beauty at your eyes. The merchant bows unto the seaman's star, The ploughman from the sun his season takes, But still the lover wonders what they are Who look for day before his mistress wakes. Awake, awake! break thro' your veils of lawn! Then draw your curtains, and begin the dawn!
