More from Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton
Great thoughts, great feelings came to them, Like instincts, unawares.
The hills of manhood wear a noble face When seen from far; The mist of light from which they take their grace Hides what they are.
But on and up, where Nature’s heart Beats strong amid the hills.
The beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard.
Oh glory, that we wrestle So valiantly with Time!
A man’s best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet.
