PINE-CLAD HILLS, by                    
First Line: I hope that I shall live forever, here
Last Line: Her promises of immortality.
Subject(s): Pine Trees; Trees


I hope that I shall live forever, here,
Upon these pine-clad hills,
Their beauty snares my soul;
I love them 'neath mantillas of the mist,
Or in the dawn, resplendent and sun-kissed,
When Spring fulfills
Her promises of immortality.

Yet, if I may not live forever, here,
Upon these pine-clad hills
Where peace and beauty dwell,
I would, wind-blown, return in silver rain
To wake the violets and dogwood again,
When Spring fulfills
Her promises of immortality.
