Simple Wisdom 1935

In a pleasant cornfield,
Many years ago,
men were bade delight in
all good things that grow;
though the stubborn hearted
would have said them nay.
In a pleasant cornfield
on the Sabbath Day.

By a peaceful lakeside,
many years ago,
men learn'd how a sower
once went forth to sow.
Seeds of simple wisdom,
harvests yet ungrown,
by a peaceful lakeside
in each heart were sown.

Resting on a hillside,
many years ago,
men were bade consider
how the lilies grow.
There, amid the olives,
in the open day,
resting on a hillside,
men learn'd how to pray.
