JUDEAN HILLS ARE HOLY, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Of jesus everywhere
Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Mountains


Judean hills are holy ...
Judean hills are fair,
For one can find the footprints
Of Jesus everywhere.

One finds them in the twilight
Beneath the singing sky,
Where shepherds watch in wonder
White planets wheeling by.

His trails are on the hillsides,
And down the dales and deeps;
He walks the high horizons
Where vesper-silence sleeps.

He haunts the lowly highways
Where human hopes have trod
The Via Dolorosa ...
Up to the heart of God.

He looms, a lonely figure,
Along the fringe of night,
As lonely as a cedar ...
Against the lonely light.

Judean hills are holy ...
Judean hills are fair,
For one can find the footprints
Of Jesus everywhere.
