From north and from SOUTH
The hot winds viii stop blowing
And there'n De NO more droutA
Then don't be discouraged
And never complain.
AZ the country grows older
Well surely get rain.
TIE past with its troubles
Has nothing to do
With the promising future
Which now opens to yoa.
Then up in the morning
And out at your work,
Let carelessness cause you
No duty to shirk.
But improve every moment
Let the time not be lost,
Nor by the wuims Of old ssttle0S
Be round about tossed
For sometimes they tell -
That 'ts OF no vs.
Our land 20 break out
For twill not produce.
But. as We know better
Now that we've tried,
The talk OF old settlers
Ven just lay aside.
And in hope and end in faith
Wen work and wen toll.
Well break out our land
And the cattle range spoil
To wheat and to rye
Wen SOW down onr fields,
And expect the next fall
Some beautiful yields.
And we VIII look to Him
PROM whom ell blessings doth 4oH,
n sad down tho rain
AnG make our CROPS grow
Respectfully,
JAMES 3. Poland.
