Analysis of Near Wallenstein and Wholesome Hearts
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Short hop from Town
And farms and silos begin
Mennonite gardens and clotheslines
All in.
Yards show badminton
Baseball and such.
Gardens all orderly
Mother’s sweet touch.
Buggies of one or two
Beautiful steeds
Horsepower is real
For many farm needs.
Black hatted masters
With kids in the rear
Blessed by rich home life
And harvest so dear.
Bounty soon yielded
By God’s caring Hand.
Horse, God and families
Who treasure this Land.
