Crest Yon' Hill
Crest yon’ hill, and cast your eyes O’er lands that ne’er has human sight Beheld, in all its green array, Where sunlight chases dark away. See the path is steep, but sure; Longer miles have we endured Than what are left upon our quest; So onward go, into the west. Who knows what wonders lay enshrined In mountain caverns, hid behind The cataracts of lofty height That send their roars through cloudless night? Or creatures strange that roam beneath The aged forests evergreen, That grant to men their great desires If caught beneath sun’s midday fire? Wand’rers brave, go forth and see What wonders in this realm there be; Go boldly, and without a fear, For shadows flee the sunlight here.
