Dinah Maria Mulock - Over The Hills And Far Away
Work rating: Low

A LITTLE bird flew my window by, 
`Twixt the level street and the level sky, 
The level rows of houses tall, 
The long low sun on the level wall; 
And all that the little bird did say 
Was, "Over the hills and far away." 

A little bird sang behind my chair, 
From the level line of corn-fields fair, 
The smooth green hedgerow`s level bound 
Not a furlong off--the horizon`s bound, 
And the level lawn where the sun all day 
Burns:--"Over the hills and far away." 

A little bird sings above my bed, 
And I know if I could but lift my head 
I would see the sun set, round and grand, 
Upon level sea and level sand, 
While beyond the misty distance gray 
Is "Over the hills and far away." 

I think that a little bird will sing 
Over a grassy mound, next spring, 
Where something that once was me, ye`ll leave 
In the level sunshine, morn and eve: 
But I shall be gone, past night, past day, 
Over the hills and far away.
