fx I' eaeeq Lb ' 'Q' j X E THE MOUNTAINS SHALL RING PEACE fBy Kate C. Shippf When I am worn with earth and all its ills, And weary of dull tasks that never cease, I lift mine eyes up to the everlatsting hills. And gaze with longing on the mountains that bring peace. At dawn, when night has brought no rest from care, Nor given the aching heart one hour's surcease, How heavenly sweet to see the morning rise so fair And drive the darkness from the mountains that bring. peace. At noonday, mid the heat, and toil and strife, The mountains speak of shady bowers greeng They tell of those, who toiling upward, have found life On those pure heights that seem so peaceful, so serene. And when the westward sinking sun does throw Its last light on the mountain's lofty crest, And when the silver white, fair evening star hangs low, That gracious hour ne'er fails to bring me peace and rest. When purple shade lies deep on the mountain side And comes to me the call that means release From earthns sad plane, may heavenly portals, opening wide Light with their radient glow the mountains that bring peace
