Whilst wrapt in a day dram but lately
Ana hummlng song Of my youth

Tho depths Of its meaning and truth.
Tho minstrel sang loudly Of frcedom-

Though cycles have wancl since heard IT.
Its wisdom Is patent today.

For casing OF SORROW and pain
IL might be that children unborn yet
Might say had not lived in vain
IL might be that some honest toiler.
When called on 10 lay down his load,
Might bless me for striving, though feebly,
In helping to point out the road.
I'yc sped through a country Of wonders.
GaEed hereward and thereward until
My eyes have grown dim with emotion.
My heart in its place has stood still.
With ViStaS OF health, peace and plenty
Around me wherever / roam,
My thoughts have required to the sadness
Astounding on all sides at home.
We toilers in alleys, In cities;
Ne weary, oppressed and downtrod,
Leave sin, shame and SORROW behind you
10 out and shake hands with your God.
Why sruan under burdens that break your
Why clarpor at pyEmics who ruler
Why breathe but the air OF contRgion!
Why listen TO doGmas that fool?
Let blue skies above bc your temple,
Great Nature your truthful l,iGh priest,
The earth I'm its fuIlncsS" will serve you
y rich and hountiful feast.
Why toll for n miserable pittanco
In atmoSphcres laden with guilt,
When miles upon miles wait tho tillinE
And cities are still tn be built
In lands where to labor's u blessing
In lands OF perennial sun
Where nature meets man open handed
Paying fivcfold for duty that's doneY
From fruits OF the earth eat in plenty.
Drink air from tho mountains with scst.
Your hearts will grow stronger and lighter.
Work honcstly-Ciod does tho rcStl
And il il he true as it's written
That God-''in his imaGe'-madc man

It's action will swectcn life's span:
It's honesty leads men to labor;
'TiS labor wins honor and pelf.

Then honor'd by all who surround yuu,
In homes that your own hands have made
The sunset OF life you can Welcome
Your debts to your Maker are paid.
