OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY.

Over the hills and far away,
A little boy steals from his morning play.
And under the blossOming apple tree
He lies and he dreams Of things to be;
or battles fought and of victories won,
OF wrongs O'erthrown and Of great deeds
done;
OF the valor that he shall prove some day
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away,
It's oh for the toll the livelong day!
But it mattereth not to the soul afiame
With the love for riches and power and
fame!
On. 0 man; while the sun is high;
On to the certain joys that lie
Yonder where blazeth the noon Of day.
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away.
An old man fingers at close Of day:
Now that his journey is almost done.
His battles fought and his victories won,
The old-time honesty and truth.
The trustfulness and the friends Of youth,
Home and mother-where are they!
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
