Upon The Summit Of The Rounded Hill All ...
She sees the Spring grow lovelier day by day ; She sees the Summer redden all the plain ;
She sees the Autumn fade and pass away ; And hoary Winter o ' er the landscape gain .
. But Her no robe change of dark come g s reen to her leaves . She —no sheddeth glowing not flowers
, Adorn her branches , —by the world forgot , She looks upon the gleam of distant towers .
But the fair moon shines for her , and the glow Of the great sun with nought between his light .
The rain from .. Heaven bathes her , and the snow Covers her as with blossoms soft and white .
So doth she live in patience—never glad ,- — But never quite unhappy . And her leaves ,
Althoug Are precious h their shadow to the reap may ers be with dark their and sad sheaves , .
If she bemoan her weary lot , her tears Are shed in silenceand the daisies only
Whose drooping heads , that genial moisture cheers , . Know of those moments desolate and lonely .
* God is upon the hills , and all alone In the dark silence we Plis voice may know ;
No throb of sorrow is to Him unknown , — He watcheth over all the trees that grow .
