THESE hills and waters fostered you Abiding in your argument Until all comely wisdom drew About you, and the years were spent. Now over hill and water stays A world more intimately wise, Built of your dedicated days, And seen in your beholding eyes. So, marvellous and far, the mind, That slept among them when began Waters and hills, leaps up to find Its kingdom in the thought of man. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTO BATTLE by JULIAN GRENFELL TO A POET THAT DIED YOUNG by EDNA ST.
