The Hill Beyond, Katherine S. Harrington, Adapted By Gerry Hubbard


The Hill Beyond
Katherine S. Harrington, Adapted By Gerry Hubbard



Blue shadows dream on Hubbard Hill,
The pasture lands are green;
Its maple groves look fairer far
Than any I have seen.



O, I could move to Hubbard Hill
But I'm too wise to go;
I dread to find things over there
The same as those I know



I think the land is richer there,
The meadows not so steep,
That apple trees bear bigger fruit,
Snow doesn't drift so deep.



O, I could move to Hubbard Hill
But I'm too wise to go;
I dread to find things over there
The same as those I know



And mornings, from the kitchen door
I see the sunrise come
Early to farmsteads on the Hill,
While ours are still in gloom.


O, I could move to Hubbard Hill
But I'm too wise to go;
I dread to find things over there
The same as those I know



O, I could move to Hubbard Hill
But I'm too wise to go;
I dread to find things over there
The same as those I know
