The Strength of the Hills
I must go to the lonely hills for my
healing.
Drink deep the breath of the sun-steep- ;
ed pine
Down the green-vaulted aisles hear Hi;*
voice sort-stealing
Meet H'is smile unafraid lift my sou^
to His holy wine;
Turn my face to the flaming sky-win-
dows. and kneeling
Pray and blend my praise with the in-
cense of cedar and pine.
Be hushed by the wind-swept harps
and through their cadence hear
The flute-clear vespers of hermit-thrush
thrilling the twilight there.
Then lighted by tall star-tapers(and
clasping close the hem
Of His robe. I shall carry the healing
balm to my gates;
And my spirit renewed shall be strong
it shall stay
The nightgwolves of sick doubt till the
light Bf clear day;
1 shall hoW the strength of the hills in
my breast
And His sheltering wing shall cover
m y rest:
.—MARY DAVIS TODD
