First Line: It falls from heaven upon the hill
Last Line: It turns to heaven again.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Water
It falls from heaven upon the hill,
And hurries down to turn the mill
And grind the ripened grain;
Then, duty done, it turns away,
And like a spirit, turned to spray,
It turns to heaven again.
