AT thought of hills where streams begin
And little rills foregather
I'd leave this fishing in the sea
And go to seek them rather—
For seas are terrible lone things,
The gulls scream so. ...and the salt stings.

I've bits of gear that's mine to leave,
Nor lack I for a penny,
And what it is I'd go to seek
I know no more than any. ...
But maybe, up beyond, I'd find
A little hill. ...to ease my mind.
