Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals.
|
Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls.
|
I am of the latter brand. All I want to do
|
Is to find a spot of land and live there with you.
|
|
Someday we'll build a home
|
On a hilltop high, you and I,
|
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill.
|
And we'll be pleased to be called
|
"The folks who live on the hill."
|
|
Someday we may be adding
|
A thing or two, a wing or two.
|
We will make changes as any family will.
|
But we will always be called
|
"The folks who live on the hill."
|
|
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green,
|
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen.
|
And when the kids grow up and leave us,
|
We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two.
|
|
Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill,
|
The folks like to be called
|
What they have always been called,
|
"The folks who live on the hill."
