On a Bare Hill's Top...On a bare hill's top, in the North, wild and cold,A lone pine-tree somewhere stands; She dozes, swaying, all covered by snow With a mantel from feet to a head.She sees in her dreams: in a faraway desert,In lands where the sun enters skies,Alone and sad, on a rock's sunburnt lather,A beautiful palm-tree abides.
