THE VALLEY, by                    
First Line: Wide, green valley, between low hills, pine clad
Last Line: Wide, green valley, between low hills pine clad.
Subject(s): Nature


Wide, green Valley, between low hills, pine clad,
How beautiful you are in Spring -- how glad
The smiling face you lift to April skies,
That playful, drop their silver on your head as rain.

How hopeful is the promise that you give,
Deep-bosomed Mother, that each flower will live
To make lovelier the earth, and that to nourish men
Each plant and grass and grain will know new life again.

Immortal is the beauty that you bring,
Eternal is the song of life you sing,
Wide, green Valley, between low hills pine clad.
