Cool are the long marsh grasses, dewy cool',The alder thickets, and the shallow pool, And the brown clay about the trodden brink. The pensive afterthoughts o£ sundown sink. Over the patient acres, given to peaoa ; The homely cries and farmstead jioise6 cease, And the worn day relaxes, link by link. A lesson that ,the open heart may read Breathes in this mild benignity of air, These dear familiar savours of the soil — A lesson of tb£"calm of humble creed, The simple dignity .;ofc<inYrnon toil, And the plain. wisdoa.oi 'unspoken: prayer.'
