"Climbing Over Rocky Mountain"~an Ode to Wolverine Canyon

"Climbing Over Rocky Mountain"

Climbing over rocky mountain,

Skipping rivulet and fountain,


Passing where the weeping willows quiver

Passing where the willows quiver,



By the ever-rolling river,


Swollen with the summer rain,


The summer rain.



Threading long and leafy mazes



Dotted with unnumbered daisies,



Dotted, dotted with unnumbered daisies;





Scaling rough and rugged passes,



Climb the hardy little lasses,


Till the bright sea-shore they gain!



Scaling rough and rugged passes,


Climb the hardy little lasses,

Till the bright sea-shore they gain!



Let us gaily tread the measure,


Make the most of fleeting leisure,


Hail it as a true ally,


Though it perish by-and-by.

Hail it as a true ally,



Though it perish by-and-by.

Words and Lyrics from "The Pirates of Penzance", by Gilbert and Sullivan
