When science first began to grow
So change in daily life it showed
And old and new were side by side
So man with both was forced to bide

A mountain range enforced this cleft
And split between the two abet.
On one side stood a village bound
By stone. No modern comforts found

Inside it's keep to easement give
To those who would with easement live.
On other side a city laid
The crafts of modern man had made.

From one to other days would take
To any journey ever make
For sake of mount that straightest way
Had too imposing present made.

So folk resigned themselves to life
With extra work and also strife
Without resenting mountain's swath
That blocked these men from taking păth

For would a man yet think resent
The winds or rains that nature sent
Unnoticed go the forces bid
That many inconvenience give

If men inexorable does deign
Those things their lives that present reign...
Onto the lowest caste there born
Were children rest of men did scorn

Amidst this kind a man and wife
Were bid to join for rest of life
By stroke of luck and lack thereof
Possessing little besides much love.

And pair were deigned by mortal need
To many hours of labor heed
And only comfort in other's arms
Did either find from daily harms

Inflict by being lowest born
In lowest place that others scorned
But still they each the other owned
Enough for happy life alone

A joyful fact though many men
Would deem it little use in end.
