Analysis of Today when you went up the hill
Lesbia Harford 1891 (Brighton) – 1927 (Australia)
Today when you went up the hill
And all that I could see
Was just a speck of black and white
Very far from me,
It seemed more strange than words can say,
The dot that I could see,
Really was the dearest thing
The world holds for me.
