What's life in a city? There's room to spare.
Men crowded in corners and scanted of air;
Too to be neighbors, too fretful for friends,
Each man jostles each as he seeks his own ends.
There folk underneath you. and folk overhead
And the noise of the street comes to vex you in bed
The jangle of bells. tho cab whistle shrtll,
All the hum and the Wfirc and the dust of the mill
That is grinding all day and grows louder at night
CCnspire against comfort and Danish delight
Ah God for the country-the singing of birds
The laughter of children. the lowing of herds
Green grass and blue heavens, bright water, clean
air,
And room enough. room enough. room and to spare!
