I LOVE the hills but she the open shore,The shore because it lies along the sea.I would be lofty, solitary, free,Selfish at times; at times, hearing the roarOf the ocean where beneath the bending oarIt does the planet service, I would beAs rich in blessing, yea, as rich as sheIs rich in blessing; I could not be more.I walk apart, my heart is in the sky,Yet ever yearning downward to the land;She walks where all the world is crowding byAnd holds a little child in either hand;I bless her service with a troubled cryOf one who would but cannot understand.
