WHEAT | |- RYE OATS BARLEY Letter to the Editor Dear Sir A subscriber asked for this verse. It is very dear to me as I still remember it from my youth and now again my children had it in school, so it makes it more plain to me. Great, wide, beautiful, wonder ful world With the wonderful waters around you curled The wonderful grass upon your breast World you are beautifully dres sed The wonderful air is over me, The wonderful wind is shaking the trees, It walks on the water and whirls the mills And talks to its self on top of the hills. You friendly earth how far do you go, With the wheat fields that nod and rivers that flow, With cities and gardens and cliffs and isles And people upon you for thou sands of miles’ Ah' You are so great and I am. so small I can hardly thmj* of you world at all. And yet when I said pay prayers today My mother kissed me and said quite gay. You are more than the earth Though you are but a dot You can love and think And the earth can not.
