Here from the hilltop down towards the dell I'll wander till this evening, I don't care. An afternoon all fertile with the spell Still calling me: be still and drink the air. And so I'll pause, and ponder as I hike, I'll take my time before the valley floor, And meditate, and maybe, if I like, Climb back again and walk the path once more. Full twenty years I've walked this hillside trail, And every time it makes itself anew; Unveiling as I head towards the vale, A flower unseen, an unexpected view... Again I lose my footing with a scream, Fall forty feet, and drown beneath the stream.
