THE CALL OF THE HILLS
I LIST its sound in the night,The surge song of the sea;I mark it, a welter of whiteOr gray with the driven rain;I watch it broad and bright,A sapphire harmony, —But the hills call and the rills call, so it'sho, for the hills again!
The ships go wavering by,And fade on the faint sea rim;Graceful the white gulls fly,Their cry like a far refrain;The low wind comes like a sighFrom the outer islands dim, —But the hills call and the rills call, so it'sho, for the hills again!
I turn my back on the foam,On the long curved line of shore,On the dunes and the reedy loamAnd the murmur of the main;Oh, the hill man seeks his homeAs the sailor the ocean's roar!Hark! the hills call and the rills call, so it'sho, for the hills again!
