ON FLINT ROCK HILLS, by                    
First Line: On flint rock hills the twilight lies
Last Line: On flint rock hills.
Subject(s): Mountains; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


On Flint Rock Hills the twilight lies
In lavender for dreaming eyes,
With lacy clouds pink-veiled with sun;
The crows troop westward one by one
And murmurs from the streams arise.

A gaunt tree listens to the cries
Of distant hounds, the faint wind dies,
And now the whip-poor-wills have begun
On Flint Rock Hills.

The woods close in. A ribbon ties
The slender fields of varying size.
A thousand sparklers through them run
From fire-fly lamps as day is done.
The great dome rests its starlit skies
On Flint Rock Hills.
