Religion
The Country Faith
From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)
Religion
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.
