Excerpt from Early Years in Smyrna and Our First Old Home Week A Song of the Hills. By Clinton Scollard. By special permission of the Author, and of Robert Webster Jones, Editor of the Household, Minneapolis, Minn. The green hills, the clean hills, without a stain upon them, When little vernal whispers breathe, and woodsy attars pass - When all the glory of the spring's rekindled life is on them, The beauty of the burgeoned boughs, the glamour of the grass. The fair hills, the rare hills, what sight hath blither seeming. Than they reveal when summertide sets seal upon the earth! - The meads below them gleaming, the sky above them dreaming, And not a tune save those that throb with melody and mirth! The old hills, the gold hills, with orient autumn o'er them - The autumn with her wonderloom whereto she turns her hand, And low, straightway upon them and about them and before them A web no mortal skill may match, not e'en in Samarcand! The glad hills, the sad hills - how joy and sorrow blended Engirdle evermore the paths where boyhoods feet have clomb! Ah, how affection clings to them, and will till life is ended. The grand hills, the free hills, the dear hills of home! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
