Up high, so high I climb To grand open worlds beyond, my mind foresees His call resounds The darkened wings of the raven beat, he follows me The sun is burning bright The radiance shines upon my humble feet This slender path excites With every twist adrift along my way Far below, the lake is shimmering Crystal water seems to gleam Too far above to hear the trickling over stone through vale to stream Alone atop the peak The air is still, the purest yet to breathe From here afar I see And still the blackened wings are haunting me
