On the hilltop, tall, serenely. Stood a great and massive pine; To it with her branches drooping riung a lonely, little vine. Life was dark, and oh! how mournful. To the weary, struggling vine. As it reached forever higher To be like its friend the pine. Then she whispered slowly, softly, To the stars who were so dear. “I. of earth, who seek the heavens, Help me God, Thou art so near.” Hush, a rustle in the treetops, Hreaks the stillness of the night. Starry heads are there that beckon; See! “how near now shines the light! “Oh, the beauty of the silence. Oh the wondrous stars so bright. I have climbed, oh earth and heaven; Life is wonderful to-night.” Viola Xia.sox.
