GILLESPIE, JR., (3-7411) MABEL JOYNER (2-3053) Blest be our ivoods of hemlock, maple, pine, Balsam and birch, dear Lord, our ivoods and Thine! Blest be their bubbling springs, their rippled lakes. Their ponds, and every laughing brook that makes Rainbows and foam and crystal homes for trout; Blest be the trails that wander in and out Among gray boulders drowned in soft green seas Of velvet moss! Oh, blest be all of these! Blest be the woods and they that dwell therein; The scolding squirrel and his gentler kin, The friendly chipmunk and the timid hare; Blest be the graceful mink, the shambling bear, The beaver on his dam, the drumming grouse. The hawk that loves the sky, the white-foot mouse. The antlcred buck that paces, proud and tall. With doe and dappled fawn, blest be they all! Lord, bless the woods for perfect loveliness, For balm that heals the soul in care and stress! Keep them forever fragrant, cool and sweet! From thunderbolt and flame, from gale and sleet, From avalanche, from torrent, drought and blight From all that is unclean, from ruthless might That gives to desolation valley, glen And mountainside, God bless our ivoods! Amen. Messing on the Woods—Aitthur Guitcrman 43
