HIGH AND LOW by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: UPON THE HEIGHTS THEY RESTED; LOOKING DOWN
Last Line: "O LOVE, I BLESS WHAT BROUGHT US WHERE WE ARE."
Subject(s): CLIMBING; GOD; LOVE;
UPON the heights they rested; looking down,
"What shuddering depths," she said, "thank God, afar!"
But he: "'Twas thence we climbed to reach the crown;
O Love, I bless what brought us where we are."
