Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHG IJEKLMN ONPQWE climb the hill the mist conceals | A |
That valley where we could not stay | B |
Surely this hill's crest gained reveals | A |
The glory of the sunlit day | B |
The hill is climbed Still shadow land | C |
Still darkling looms another hill | D |
Oh weary feet climb that to find | E |
A new ascent 'mid shadows still | D |
We dare not stop or think of rest | F |
This one hill may be all that lies | G |
Between us and our souls' desire | H |
The splendour of the eastern skies | G |
- | |
- | |
Through long long lives we till and tend | I |
Sow weed and water all in vain | J |
Without the flower we looked to find | E |
Each year springs blooms and dies again | K |
Bowed down with our unanswered prayers | L |
Our face averted from our past | M |
We watch each year grow green and cry | N |
'Surely this brings our flower at last ' | - |
Failure on failure What tired out | O |
Too tired to live Heart dare you die | N |
When this new year may bud and bear | P |
Your longed for flower of Liberty | Q |
