HILLTOP, by                    
First Line: The heights are best for vision
Last Line: We can commune with god.
Subject(s): Mountains; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


The heights are best for vision,
Above life's sordid care
The soul can stretch her pinions
And breathe the clearer air.

Look over hills and valleys,
And lakes of turquoise blue --
The calm of open spaces
Comes with the peaceful view.

Here poems of ageless beauty
And songs to stir mankind
To deeds of love and daring
Come trooping to the mind.

Here, high upon the hilltop,
Where ancient pine trees nod
And point the way to heaven,
We can commune with God.
