AMONG THE HILLS, by                    
First Line: I love the valleys, where the slow, brown brooks
Last Line: The far horison, and the sunset light!
Subject(s): Mountains; Wellesley College; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


I LOVE the valleys, where the slow, brown brooks
Glimmer along in silence thro' the meadows;
Lingering here and there in still, dark pools
Under the rocks, and in the woodland shadows.

I love the pastures, where the slim, white birch
Sways by the low stonewalls and sagging bars;
The orchard slopes, the red-brown depths of pine,
And sunny fields where daisies bloom like stars.

But most I love the upward sweep of hills,
To breast their slopes and reach at last the height
From which I see the land that lies beyond;
The far horison, and the sunset light!
