Hello trainers, please explain me the following poem . it is very difficult for me to find the satisfactory answer and there is no one around me who can help me.
The title of the poem is Victory written by Mary Britton Mille There was ayoung man Who lived below A mountaincrowned with glaciers and snow ''Beautiful mountain!'' He used to say, 'Only clouds And the eagles know Their way to the place I intend to go the lofty peak You lift so high I've raved to cli Before I die'' When he was a man He attempted it twice- Bravely he scaled Those shoulders of snow And the arms of ice but for all his courage The young man failed In his enterprise Then the mountain said In his awful voice Of glacier and ice I am here alone With the eagles and clouds And for ever alone I intend to remain. The young man replied, I shall try it again. So he started out With all the gear That people wear When they try to scale A mountain's crest And believe it or not He got to the top Of Mount Everest
Thanks
