THAT BACK TO NATURE CRY
The first word that we hear of Jesus is: 'Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'
For we soon see how the bonds of sin break to pieces before Him, the pure Son of God.
(HYMN)
Most every summer, bout the time
The garden stuff comes in,
Here comes a parcel of them
High-toned city kin.
They come when least we're looking,
"For just a little stay,"
But with the milk and cooking
It sure fills my day.
They sit out on the porch all day,
And rave around and talk,
About that "smell of new-mown hay"
And that "exquisite-hollyhock".
The "simple life" attracts them so,
But they sure know how to shirk,
For all they do is talk, you know,
While I do all the work.
And, if on some rare occasion,
They have some conscience's pricks,
Then I watch in consternation
Cousin Nellie feed my chicks.
And once, before her leaving,
"I'll be the cook." she said,
And on that self-same evening
Our family ate burnt bread.
Now, I love the "cows and chickens",
And the "tasseled corn on stalk";
But it surely would be the "dickens"
If all I could do was talk.
The summer-time has lost it's charm,
For every summer, I know,
Those city folks will flock the farm,-
'Tis such a "restful place to go"!
