A gold fringe on the purpling hem	A
Of hills the river runs	B
As down its long green valley falls	C
The last of summer's suns	B
	-
Along its tawny gravel bed	D
Broad flowing swift and still	E
As if its meadow levels felt	F
The hurry of the hill	E
Noiseless between its banks of green	G
From curve to curve it slips	H
The drowsy maple shadows rest	I
Like fingers on its lips	H
	-
A waif from Carroll's wildest hills	J
Unstoried and unknown	K
The ursine legend of its name	L
Prowls on its banks alone	K
Yet flowers as fair its slopes adorn	M
As ever Yarrow knew	N
Or under rainy Irish skies	O
By Spenser's Mulla grew	N
And through the gaps of leaning trees	P
Its mountain cradle shows	Q
The gold against the amethyst	R
The green against the rose	Q
	-
Touched by a light that hath no name	L
A glory never sung	S
Aloft on sky and mountain wall	T
Are God's great pictures hung	S
How changed the summits vast and old	U
No longer granite browed	V
They melt in rosy mist the rock	W
Is softer than the cloud	V
The valley holds its breath no leaf	X
Of all its elms is twirled	Y
The silence of eternity	Z
Seems falling on the world	Y
	-
The pause before the breaking seals	A2
Of mystery is this	B2
Yon miracle play of night and day	C2
Makes dumb its witnesses	D2
What unseen altar crowns the hills	J
That reach up stair on stair	E2
What eyes look through what white wings fan	F2
These purple veils of air	E2
What Presence from the heavenly heights	G2
To those of earth stoops down	H2
Not vainly Hellas dreamed of gods	I2
On Ida's snowy crown	H2
	-
Slow fades the vision of the sky	J2
The golden water pales	K2
And over all the valley land	L2
A gray winged vapor sails	K2
I go the common way of all	T
The sunset fires will burn	M2
The flowers will blow the river flow	N2
When I no more return	M2
No whisper from the mountain pine	O2
Nor lapsing stream shall tell	P2
The stranger treading where I tread	D
Of him who loved them well	P2
	-
But beauty seen is never lost	Q2
God's colors all are fast	R2
The glory of this sunset heaven	S2
Into my soul has passed	R2
A sense of gladness unconfined	T2
To mortal date or clime	L
As the soul liveth it shall live	U2
Beyond the years of time	L
Beside the mystic asphodels	K2
Shall bloom the home born flowers	K2
And new horizons flush and glow	N2
With sunset hues of ours	K2
	-
Farewell these smiling hills must wear	E2
Too soon their wintry frown	H2
And snow cold winds from off them shake	V2
The maple's red leaves down	H2
But I shall see a summer sun	S2
Still setting broad and low	N2
The mountain slopes shall blush and bloom	L
The golden water flow	N2
A lover's claim is mine on all	T
I see to have and hold	U
The rose light of perpetual hills	K2
And sunsets never cold	U
