Wr know Orlobrr has
rolled around as »r notirr a
rhill in the morning air when
»r dash to the school hus
The sun is just peeping over
.t nearhv hill anti a mist rises
from the ( oncstoga and
floats toward the meadow
The first ra>s of sunshine
filter through the trees and
splotches of light move on
the roofs of the summer
cabins along our lane
Soon the fields will be bare
as the corn graduallj
disappears into the silo and
we again join the outside
world Most of the summer
we’ve been surrounded by
tall com stalks and the
privacy was quite nice But,
no one can hide forever
