Music of the Wild 



a characteristic 2>i^i't of the Song of the Fields; 

 a pure, hquid note tinged with serene and tranquil 

 River Hiclody sung from a perfect setting, and perhajis 



Voices 



draAvs a larger audience than any other music of 

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

 greatest activitj'-, the voice of toiling humanity is 

 their dominant note. 



The roar of great cities, tlie screaming of lake, 

 river, and railroad traffic, and the husy hum of 

 Avorkers in the fields comhine in tlie song of life. 

 But hare and unadorned existence is an ugly, sor- 

 did thing, so some men have kept all the heauty 

 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 divii\e and unceasing Song 

 of the Fields.
