OVER THE HILL "TRAVELER, what lies over the hill? Traveler, tell to me: I am only a child - from the window sill "Child, there's a valley over there, And a little brook that says, 'Take care, "And what comes next?" "A little town, And a towering hill again; More hills and valleys, up and down, And a river now and then." "And what comes next?" "A lonely moor Without a beaten way; And gray clouds sailing slow before A wind that will not stay." "And then?" "Dark rocks and yellow sand, And a moaning sea beside." "And then?" "More sea, more sea, more land, And rivers deep and wide.” THE sun is down, and time gone by, The stars are twinkling in the sky, The hours have passed with stealthy flight, As this gone by: Good night, good night! Slowly falling to the prompter's bell; And looks around to say farewell. On life's wide scene you, too, have parts, W. M. THACKERAY.
