letra de the hill - cornell university

[verse 1]
i wake at night and think i hear remembered chimes.
and mem’ry brings in visions clear enchanted times.
beneath green elms with branches bowed,
in springtime suns,
or touching elbows in a crowd
of eager ones.
again, i’m hurrying past the tow’rs
or with the teams,
or spending precious idling hours in golden dreams.

[chorus]
o cornell,
of the kindly heart,
the friendly hand,
my love burns clear for you in distant land!
o fates that shape the lives of men,
vouchsafe that i,
before i die,
may tread “the hill” again!

[verse 2]
the chimes ring softly and are still at close of day;
the sunset glorifies the hill, the lake grows gray;
the sunset fades and twilight falls
and turns to night;
the moon above the shad’wy walls
grows silver bright.
in dark’ning skies the stars come out
and twinkle down
on dusky hills that lie about the twinkling town.
[chorus]
o cornell,
of the kindly heart,
the friendly hand,
my love burns clear for you in distant land!
o fates that shape the lives of men,
vouchsafe that i,
before i die,
may tread “the hill” again!
