OUT OF THE CITY

OUT OF THE CITY

Herein the ring of the hills,Under a cloudy sky,Content at last I lieWhere Peace o’erspillsLike a cool rain which givethThis brave daisy scentAnd wine of sacramentWhereby he liveth.The big hooters may howl,Men quarrel, whistles screech,I will hear only the speechOf my forgotten soul,Which is the speech of trees,Soft yet of clarityAnd brimmed with verityAnd all gay peace.

Herein the ring of the hills,

Under a cloudy sky,

Content at last I lie

Where Peace o’erspills

Like a cool rain which giveth

This brave daisy scent

And wine of sacrament

Whereby he liveth.

The big hooters may howl,Men quarrel, whistles screech,I will hear only the speechOf my forgotten soul,Which is the speech of trees,Soft yet of clarityAnd brimmed with verityAnd all gay peace.

The big hooters may howl,

Men quarrel, whistles screech,

I will hear only the speech

Of my forgotten soul,

Which is the speech of trees,

Soft yet of clarity

And brimmed with verity

And all gay peace.
