Love
The Hill-Top
From The Singing Leaves (1903)
Love
‘Look down upon thy grief.’—O heart of mine,
That path alone climbed here!
‘Look down upon thy fear.’—O heart of mine,
That cloud-shadow, my fear!
‘Look down on thy desire.’—And could it shine,
That sorry fallen ember?
‘Ah, in the valley yonder, child of mine,
Wilt thou remember?’
