ages come, and ages gone,
the mountain stands,
from dusk to dawn,
its only friend,
the river bend,
with all that flows,
never moves,
never goes,
ages come , ages gone,
the ancient mountain stands alone,
river stays,
but will not speak,
for it feels small,
under its friends great peaks,
yet never moves,
never goes,
the endless eons,
ne'er moving,
the mountains grinding,
the rivers grooving,
yet eternal silence,
upon the wind,
is the only sound,
that they will find,
mountain tall, river low,
the sands of time , shall always flow
