No two persons can ever see the same landscape.

God comes down in the rain,
And the crop grows tall—
This is the country faith,
And the best of all.

In the Arena of Brains no more salutary thing can befall a man than to meet his match. The discipline is stern, but not of the most adamant.

The country is a poem writ
By God, and few decipher it.

Her face with little drops was wet
Like pansy petals after rain.

Robinson Crusoe hardly used to the best advantage his glorious chance of solitude, because it pleased him to dine with four companions—a parrot, a dog, and two cats. Worse than this, the parrot could talk!

Here in the country’s heart
Where the grass is green,
Life is the same sweet life
As it e’er hath been.
Trust in a God still lives,
And the bell at morn
Floats with a thought of God
O’er the rising corn.
God comes down in the rain,
And the crop grows tall—
This is the country faith,
And the best of all.
