Music of the Wild 



a characteristic part of the Song of the Fields; 



a pure, liquid note tinged with serene and tranquil 



River melody sung from a perfect setting, and perhaps 



Voices draws a larger audience than any other music of 



the open. Because the fields are the scene of man's 



greatest activity, the voice of toiling humanity is 



their dominant note. 



The roar of great cities, the screaming of lake, 

 river, and railroad traffic, and the busy hum of 

 workers in the fields combine in the song of life. 

 But bare and unadorned existence is an ugly, sor- 

 did thing, so some men have kept all the beauty 

 they could. That part of the original gift of the 

 Lord to the children of men that they themselves 

 have preserved furnishes every picture it rests our 

 weary eyes to see and every note our tired ears 

 care most to hear the divine and unceasing Song 

 of the Fields.
