Taking inspiration from the beauty that surrounds us, marketing major Stephen Sayler '27 crafted his new poem, 'The Chapel on the Hill'. The Chapel on the Hill I stare down at a thousand lives unfolding, From the chapel on the hill, Each with a story, Begging to be heard, I imagine their eyes gazing hopefully upward, Seeing the chapel on the hill, But not me. How could a thousand pairs of eyes not see me? And yet, a comfort like a blanket falls over me. By the chapel on the hill, I am a mere speck to the thousands below. A thousand lives, and I am but one. A thousand stories waiting to be heard. A thousand lives simply living. A thousand people I will never know. A thousand reasons why. But I only need one. - Stephen Sayler
