Upon the hill.

She was a river in a thirsty land,

A changeless star in midnight skies to shine—

Her touch, to walk with Nature hand-in-hand—

And she was mine, was mine.

So leave me in the wood a little while;

Here where the grass is greenest let me lie.

The sun shall bring me once again her smile,

The wind her sigh.

Here only do we seem no more apart,
