I longed to go from where the hills Loomed blue against the sky, And gaze upon the spreading sea And watch the ships go bv, I longed to stand while others still Were fast in blissful sleep And see the sun's first rrtmson glow Spread out across the deep And while in wonderment I gazed Out on the purple sea Another glanced across the waves And turned and spoke to me: \Oh that I might behold the hills. The gray old hills that rise Like monuments to God and lose Their summits in the skies!\ You count the treasures that you have And sigh and turn away, And envy some one else who seems So amply blessed to-day— And yet his heart may ache and he May have his longings, too— .
