A people strong round it shall throng

To ne'er divide again.


April Thoughts

Listen to the laughter of the brook that's racin' by!

Listen to the chatter of the black-birds on the fence!

Stand an' see the beauties of the blue that's in the sky—

Then ask of God why mortals haven't any better sense

Than to quarrel an' to battle

Where the guns an' cannon rattle
