MW WEDWN mafia 1 V' I know a town all through Better than I know myself. Sometimes I think it is myself. I know this little town lives unproclaimed On the banks of a rushing river. I know that it is there, And it rests me to know. In the quiet of this town There is something living greatly- I know that too. When I was little I knew it. We played, we always played. The out-of-doors was ours. The town, the prairie, the hills and the rivers Given with God's prodigality. We made new games to fit the great playground. We played, we always played: Old and young played. We didn't take God on faith- There He stood out in the open And we worshipped I-Iim, Our hearts bursting with the full-blooded joy of it. VVe worshipped Him, In the rain and the snow and the sun. In the summer A lavender lady's-slipper, Suddenly come upon in the hills, Was The The The The The an adventure. rock-hung couleesg rainbow pearls locked in the flesh of the river clams, unkempt shaggy sloughs hiding from the enterprising river: silent voices of the trees on the great log-rafts traveling from Minnesota woods to St. Louis, season when the hills rang with songs of the nut-gatherers, A llock of wild geese Hying south: The Indians hot palette splashed on October hills, All, all were adventures. And when their brothers called from Picardy, Old and young came from the hills, the fields, the mills, To fight as they played And to pray as they fought: There's nothing to worry about. In the hills by a rushing river A lavender lady's-slipper blows. I know that it is there- It rests me to know- I like to think about it. -Laura Sherry Old Prairie du Chien ii
