First Line: Day by day the man in the vale

Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Country Life
Day by day the man in the vale
Enjoyed his neighbour's hill above;
Day by day the man on the hill
Looked down his neighbour's vale with love.
If either one would see how fair
Was his own home, at any hour,
He, walking up the hill or down,
Enjoyed it from his neighbour's door.
So, down the vale and up the hill,
These neighbours travelled, to and fro;
One man to see his own green hill,
And one to see his vale below.
