On quiet hill
On quiet hill
Oh, when all this weary dusty noise Is more than I can bear, until I faint and choke Then I can rise and go to Quiet Hill. | |
The wind dreams through the blue pines in the long night there, And flowing air Comes down around me cool, And faintly sweet, and still, And I can sleep, On Quiet Hill. | |
The winds whisper of it Soft, and long, and deep As in sleepy rooms in dark, And there a brook Thinks gently to itself of sleep. | |
