I have had enough of the huckster's din,

The calm of the deep woods waits to greet me,

(Heart of the high hills, take me in.)

I must be off where the brooks are waking,

Where birds are building and green leaves breaking.

Why should the hold of an old task bind me?

I know of an eyrie I fain would win

Where a wind of the West shall seek me and find me,

(Heart of my high hills, take me in.)

I must be off where the stars are nearer,
