I shall walk to-day upon a high green hill, I shall forget the walls and the roofs of the town; This burden, strapped to my back, shall be unloosed, And I shall leave it there when I come down. Warm Is the hill upon which I shall walk to-day; Gold Is the sun upon the close-cropped grass, And something of the peace of grazing sheep Shall permeate my being as I pass: Something of the look within their eyes Of upland pastures, and of clean wind blown The tranquil, trusting look of those who know And shepherd watches, I shall make my own. And I shall gather the little wind flow- ers there. And press their /sweetness upon my heart to stay. Then I shall go back to the walls and the roofs of the town, Stronger than I have been for many a day.
