Like passing sails or floating clouds, And let thy sweet shade fall Shall hints of summer-time remain. Shall bloom the home-born flowers, But I shall see a summer sun The mountain slopes shall blush and bloom, The sweet day, opening as a flower A cloud, like that the old-time Hebrew saw The shadow of the mountain wall. Blown down the hill-gaps, mountain-born, To the low song the pine-tree sings; Soul of the mountain, lake, and wood, But let me dream that hill and sky I knew my river's winding line For hills like these the sound of seas A line of silver, down the hill-slope shines. ./cache/9569.txt ./txt/9569.txt
