Quotes Here in the country’s heartWhere the grass is green, Life is the same sweet lifeAs it e’er hath been.Trust in a God still lives,And the bell at mornFloats with a thought of GodO’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.
