by Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)

Language: English 
Between two hills
The old town stands.
The houses loom
And the roofs and trees
And the dusk and the dark,
The damp and the dew
  Are there.

The prayers are said
And the people rest
For sleep is there
And the touch of dreams
  Is over all.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "Between two hills", 2011 [ medium voice or low voice and piano ]
