Here, a quiet speaker introduces themselves as someone who prefers the edges of things. They hike in shadows, live in the background, and stay "almost invisible but still to be found." The title, "Behind the Mountains," fits this picture: the speaker is distant yet not out of reach, a presence you could find if you looked.
In the second stanza the tone turns warmer. The speaker speaks directly to the reader, offering company and something new to see, and the repeated "You want..." questions feel like a gentle knock on the door. The word "leisure" keeps the mood relaxed and unhurried.
The last stanza suggests that imagination is the shared activity, a way to get through "bad weather," which may be literal or may stand for hard times. The closing line, that everything changes, is calm rather than sad. Overall, the mood is modest, friendly, and quietly hopeful, with simple rhymes that match its easy voice.
