On top of the hill. There she sat,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wearing nothing but a cloak of golden hair.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Singing songs, as the wind lay flat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A lullaby to which nothing else can compare.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wind crashed on her visage, and the wind crashed softly,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of her own infant creations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And now she sat on top of the hill.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Singing her ballad for the ages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
