It's common 10 sneer at the country
town,
With its quiet streets and its peaceful
Where the little river meanders down
To be lost I'm the broad, blue sea some
where
As we who think we are wise are lost
In the roaring city that, like the sea.
Has its ebb and flow, with its millions
tossed
As bubbles rpbbed of identity.
There's fellowship in the country town.
With its empty streets and Its spread
ing trees.
Where the country songbirds warble
At maids az fair as man ever sees;
Where the wind blows sweet from the
fields nearby,
Where men know the names which their
neighbors bear.
Where a man is missed when he's gone
to lie
with the peaceful ones who have ceased
TO care.
There are joys out there in the country
That we of the city may never learn
In the rush for money and for renown,
Confronting strangers whereer we
turn!
oh. wasn't Gods world serene and fair
In the country town ere we came awayf
And won't II be sweet TO sleep out there,
Far from the city's roar, some day7
