LURE OF THE BLACK HILLS by HELEN KNIGHT GOODING

First Line: THE HILLS ARE CALLING ME TODAY
Last Line: DEAR DUSKY HILLS, I LOVE YOU SO.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; LOVE;
The Hills are calling me today
To leave my work and run away
Where quiet is, and peace divine
On wooded slope or rocky shrine.
Among the pines, low branches bend
To catch the whisper of a friend.
The sun warms all, soft breezes blow—
Dear dusky Hills, I love you so.
