Actors, craftsmen, builders, join the throng,

Painters, sculptors, florists tramp along,

Farm-boys prance, in tinsel, tin and jade:—

It is the cross-roads

Love and Laughter

Crusade.

The sun is blazing big as all the sky,

The mustard-plant with the sunflower climbing high,

With the Indian corn in fiery plumes arrayed:—

It is the cross-roads
