HILL VIEW, by MARTHA C. DEAN First Line: I stand aloft on a hilltop where Last Line: Its glory lies at my feet. | ||||||||
I stand aloft on a hilltop where The whole world lies at my feet And heaven and Earth are joined at the point Where the sky and the hilltop meet. World! World! Beautiful world With crooked rivers and trees, You rise and fall at the Maker's will, The flowers bloom on the crest of the hill, The wild wind calls with the whippoorwill And its voice is shrill and sweet. I stand again at the foot of the hill Where the world lies calm and neat; Wrapped in the rays of a golden sun Its glory lies at my feet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NATURAL HISTORY by MOTHER GOOSE S.
