Analysis of Hill And Dell
We've known heaven on earth
We've known h*** as well
We've known glory and mirth
We've known hill and dell
We've known stupid and keen
We've known skill as well
We've known hidden and seen
We've known hill and dell
We've known pretense on act
We've known frill as well
We've known deceit and fact
We've known hill and dell
We've known lesson and plan
We've known drill as well
We've known cannot and can
We've known hill and dell
We've known fury on might
We've known quell as well
We've known day and night
We've known hill and dell
We've known pleasure and joy
We've known thrill as well
We've known rescue and buoy
We've known hill and dell
