FANCIES by JAMES HERVEY HYSLOP

First Line: O'ER MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY
Last Line: BY HEALING ITS SORROW.
Subject(s): GRIEF; LIFE; LOVE; PASSION; SORROW; SADNESS;

O'ER mountain and valley,
Where winds may still sally,
In woodland and dale,
So lusty and hale,
That elfin and sprite
Resist not their might:
There lovers still throng
In passion and song.

We catch the first glance
Of life and romance,
Where drear and lonely soul
Is ever thus made whole.
And then sweet music seizes
The mellow lullaby breezes,
To brighten the morrow
By healing its sorrow.
