THE LONESOME HILL, by                    
First Line: Low I hear the night wind
Last Line: Past the lonesome hill.
Subject(s): Mountains; Solitude; Hills; Downs (great Britain); Loneliness


Low I hear the night wind
Round the wintry eaves,
Calling back its joy-time
Like a heart that grieves.

'Tis a voice of Nature
Sounding in my ear,
Bidding me remember,
Sighing out its fear;

Life and Love are parted,
But they hold me still,
As I follow visions
Up the lonesome hill.

Always one beside me
Though I walk alone;
In my heart is sounding
Ever one sweet tone;

So I look not backward
O'er the length'ning years --
'Tis the sunset gateway
That the vision clears --

'Tis the glory throbbing
Through the twilight chill --
There where Love is waiting
Past the lonesome hill.
