A good mountain range is a truly breathtaking sight. These towering rocks are usually the edges of tectonic plates, and in some cases they are the borders between countries. Poems about mountains can really celebrate the beauty of these giants! You may not be the mountaineering type, but if you love the idea of scaling K2 then have a browse through our collection. It’ll evoke the mountains, without giving you blisters.
Mountains can also symbolize a struggle that we must overcome, so reading poems about them can help you to get over your own particular Everest. You won’t need special walking boots or equipment to enjoy these writings, so there’s really no excuse!
Do you have a friend or family member who is obsessed with which peak they can conquer next? Instead of buying them a walking pole, sit down with them and have a read through our list of poems about mountains.
This is not only a great bonding exercise, but it might help you to understand their love of hiking. And, doing it this way means that you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your sofa – except to get up and make another cup of tea!
Poems About Mountains
Love
Author: E. Holt
The mountains stand tall and proud
Their peaks reaching high above the clouds
Their rugged beauty, wild and free
Inspires love and reverence in me
I stand in awe at their grandeur and size
My heart fills with love and surprise
As I gaze upon their mighty form
I am overcome with a deep and true norm
For the mountains are a symbol of love
Their strength and endurance from up above
They stand together, side by side
A love so pure, it cannot be denied
So let us all give thanks to the mountains
For the love and beauty they bring
May their majesty and grandeur never fade
But forever be a source of love, forever unafraid
Hills
Author: L. Black
There once was a mountain so grand
It reached up to the sky, as grand as it can
But a hill nearby, it did tower
Not quite as high, but still quite a flower
The mountain was proud of its height and its might
But the hill didn't let that give it a fright
It stood tall and proud in its own way
Bringing beauty to the landscape, every single day
So let us not forget the hills and the mountains
For the love and beauty they bring
Both have their own charms and allure
A constant source of wonder, forever pure
Death
Author: A. Pope
Towers of stone, majestic and grand
Their peaks piercing the sky, a commanding hand
The mountains stand strong, a testament to time
Their beauty eternal, a love that is mine
But death too has a presence here
A reminder of life's fragile atmosphere
The mountains are not without their risk
For those who dare to climb, a test of wits
Yet despite the danger that may lurk
The mountains stand tall, a majestic work
A symbol of life, and of death's embrace
A balance of forces, in each mountain face
So let us not fear the mountains and death
But embrace the beauty and love they bring
For in facing our fears, we find our strength
And the mountains, a constant source of length
For the mountains and death, they are intertwined
A yin and yang, forever aligned
So let us respect and honor their power
For it is in their embrace, we find our flower
Clouds
Author: K. James
The mountains rise up from the earth
Their peaks piercing the sky, a majestic birth
Their rugged beauty, wild and free
Inspires love and reverence in me
But the clouds, they too hold their own
A wonder to behold, a beauty grown
They drift and dance above the mountains high
A fleeting presence, against the clear blue sky
The mountains stand tall, a sight to see
A symbol of strength and majesty
But the clouds, they are a symbol of change
A reminder that life is strange
So let us appreciate the mountains and clouds
For the beauty and love they bring
May they forever stand strong and true
A constant source of wonder for me and you
Lakes
Author: H. Foley
Majestic peaks, reaching for the sky
The mountains stand tall, a wonder why
Their rugged beauty, wild and free
Inspires love and reverence in me
But the lakes, they too hold their own
A beauty to behold, a love grown
Their calm and clear waters, a mirror of the sky
A peaceful presence, as the mountains pass by
Together, they stand, a sight to see
A balance of forces, wild and free
The mountains, a symbol of strength and might
The lakes, a symbol of serenity and light
So let us appreciate the mountains and lakes
For the beauty and love they bring
May they forever stand strong and true
A constant source of wonder for me and you
Sea
Author: Unknown
Mountains rise up to touch the sky
The sea stretches wide and blue and high
Together, they stand, a wonder to see
Beauty
Author: C. Winter
Majestic peaks, reaching for the sky
The mountains stand tall, a wonder why
Their rugged beauty, wild and free
Inspires love and reverence in me
Their crags and cliffs, a sight to see
A symbol of strength and majesty
But it's not just their height that captures our hearts
It's the beauty that sets them apart
From the way they rise up from the earth
The way they stand tall, commanding their turf
The mountains are a symbol of love
Their strength and endurance, sent from above
So let us all appreciate the beauty of the mountains
For the love and wonder they bring
For the mountains are a symbol of love
A love that will forever be above
