LOST FEARS

  Lost Fears  

No one has expressed the comfort and companionship of nature better than has Elizabeth Barrett Browning in these familiar lines 

(HYMN)

The little cares that fretted me, 
I lost them yesterday, 
Among the fields above the sea. 
Among the winds at play;
 Among the lowing of the herds,
 The rustling of the trees,
 Among the singing of the birds,
 The humming of the bees.

 The foolish fears of what may happen,
 I cast them all away/
 Among the clover-scented grass, 
Among the new-mown hay, 
Among the husking of the corn, 
Where drowsy poppies nod, 
Where ill thoughts die and good are 
born 
Out in the fields with God. 

E. B. Browning
