On the horizon the peaks assembled

On the horizon the peaks assembled;
And as I looked,
The march of the mountains began.
As they marched, they sang,
"Aye! We come! We come!"

    Didn't really resonate with me, I suppose. Was there supposed to be a deeper meaning to "The march of the mountains began"? Just seemed like the mountains were..well, walking or something. Are they embodiments of some grand concept? Just wished it conveyed feelings a bit more efficiently. Curious to hear what others think.
