IN THE HIGH HILLS by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

First Line: HEIGHT OVERHEAD TO THE DEEPS
Last Line: THE EVERLASTING HILLS.
Subject(s): MOUNTAINS; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN);

HEIGHT overhead to the deeps
Where the gleaming day-star peeps
From the bosom of the dawn
In God's infinite blue lawn.
The wings of the winds are whirled
Over the face of the world --
And the echo of them fills
The everlasting hills.
