<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">Through all the pleasant meadow-side<br/></span>
<span class="i14">The grass grew shoulder-high,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">Till the shining scythes went far and wide<br/></span>
<span class="i14">And cut it down to dry.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">These green and sweetly smelling crops<br/></span>
<span class="i14">They led in wagons home;<br/></span>
<span class="i12">And they piled them here in mountain-tops<br/></span>
<span class="i14">For mountaineers to roam.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,<br/></span>
<span class="i14">Mount Eagle and Mount High;—<br/></span>
<span class="i12">The mice that in these mountains dwell,<br/></span>
<span class="i14">No happier are than I!<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i12">O what a joy to clamber there,<br/></span>
<span class="i14">O what a place for play,<br/></span>
<span class="i12">With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,<br/></span>
<span class="i14">The happy hills of hay!<br/></span></div>
