Jennie's Calendar, 1917

God's Out of Doors

The little cares that fretted me,
    I lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
    Among the winds at play;
Among the lowing of the herds -
    The rustling of the trees;
Among the singing of the birds -
    The humming of the bees.
The foolish fear of what may come,
    I cast it all away
Among the clover-scented grass
    Among the new-mown hay;
Among the rustling of the corn,
    Where drowsy poppies nod;
Where ill thoughts die and good are born,
    Out in the fields with God.
(Mrs Browning)
