Edgar Albert Guest - Two Viewpoints

OUT in the open, the wide sky above, And the green meadows stretched at my feet; Out in the open, midst scenes that I love, Where the rest hour is soothing and sweet; Out in the country, where nature's at play And the wild Sowers look up with a smile, I am hurrying now for a short holiday, I am going to rest there a while. Into the city, where life isn't dead, An' there's something a feller can do; Where hundreds of people keep forging ahead An' runnin' right plump into you; Where there's hustle an' bustle, an' something to'see, An' you never get lonesome nor blue; I tell you, the city's the fine place to be, An' I 'm goin' when ploughin' is through.Edgar Albert Guesthttp://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-viewpoints-2/
