Summary

Portrait of Sidney Lanier Sidney Lanier,  Our Hills

“ Have climbed to their top-nipples, fain and dry
To drink my mother’s-milk so near the sky.
O ye hill-stains,
Red, for all rains!
The blood that made you has all bled for us,
The hearts that paid you are all dead for us,
The trees that shade you groan with lead, for us!
