Explore "Over the Hills" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Over the hills they are waiting to greet us, / They who have scanned all the ultimate places, / Fathomed the world and the things that defeat us -- / Evils and graces.
They have no thought for the toiling or spinning, / Striving for bread that is dust in the gaining, / They have won all that is well worth the winning -- / Past all distaining.
