CONTENTMENT by Katherine Cary Place

CONTENTMENT by Katherine Cary Place The charm of bird and tree and flower,Let those complain of weariness, Who never sat ‘neath leafy bower,But I as long as life shall last, Can never weary grow,While Trees and green and flowers bloom, And birds can warble so.

AUTUMN by Katherine Cary Place

AUTUMN by Katherine Cary Place Oh, Autumn, in gorgeous raiment, What artist is the blame?He has daubled his colors here and there, In one great glory of color and prayer,Till the woods are all aflame.
