LIVE UP HIGHER.

By Hallie C. Young

Oh! 'tis darksome in the valley, For the twilight hour is come, And the glory of the sunset Nestles in its mountain home.

Oh, 'tis dreary in the valley, Where the mists and shadows lie; And the clouds are gray and somber, And the night-winds weep and sigh.

Oh, dwell not within the valley Where the sable shadows wait; Where the sun in gold and amber, Hastens through the western gate.

Day-beams linger on the mountain, High above the mists and snow; And the sun in gold and amber, Never, never fails to glow.

Let us live upon the mountain, Near the starry vault of blue, Through whose rifts, the blooming Aden Flashes half its glory though. Clarendon, Ark.
