Analysis of I Stand on a Mountaintop High
I Stand on a mountaintop high,
Stop, look up, and ponder the sky.
My emotions of peace do run nigh,
The eagle doth let out his cry.
It seems that I've now found a way,
To observe time, and have a quiet day.
One day soon I'll just have my say,
The solitude takes me away.
I need a day like this that's nice,
Without strife to spice up my life.
It seems that I contemplate twice,
A day like this into my life.
I need to know somehow I'll find,
A scene with a new peace of mind.
The beauty I see is quite real,
Serenity has great appeal.
