.4. Misty Mountaintops Poem by David Threadgold

Upon misty mountaintops
Come shrill eerie cries
Is this the place?
Where a mountaineer dies

Was it a wind?
That made such a sound
A cry from an eagle
When breakfast he found

Maybe a nanny goat
Just giving birth
The squeal from her kid
As it lay on damp earth

I can’t say for sure
And it’s no great surprise
So beware misty mountains
When you hear unknown cries
