BEYOND THE CITIES.

After the cities have held you.
After their glamour and CLEAN
Have palled YOU and spoiled you and
spelled you,
II Is then for the country dream
The faith Of the good green country.
Its peace and power to sustain,
When the shops and the temples have
fallen
An the lure Of the lights is vain
After the cities have worn you,
After their thunder and strifs
Have crushed you and rent you and torn
you,
Oh then for the country life.
The green OF the quiet meadows
The peace of the mighty hills
The voice Of the birds mid the shadows,
The runes of the ripping rills
After the cities have fed you
On passion and fury and pride;
After the dreams of their splendor
Have sickened your spirit ana died.
It Is then for the beautiful valleys.
The far-fung summits, the glen,
That heal US of novels and alleys
With the beauty God fashioned for men.
