8 - Black Mountain (NC) NEWS — Thursday, May 26, 1960 Poet's Corner Conducted by Anne K. Sharp, Chairman Creative Writing Group Agricultural Trends What's become of the Man with the Hoe? He belongs to the long ago; No more the pause in the sun's red blaze. To catch a Markham’s lyric gaze; The work once done by brown arms lean Is now performed by gasoline. The Hoe is hung upon the wall, The Man’s astride a tractor small; The earth is now homogenized By roto blades transistorized; The smallest plot of mulch, much prized, Knows only tread that’s mechanized; And Market News reports it thus: “Farm Equipment Scores a Plus.” —W. J. Reilly. Courtesy of “The Wall St. Journal.” Anne Kendrick Sharp, Chr Poet’s Comer for the Creative Writing Club. OUR BROOK Our brook is something you should hear and see It sings the prettiest melody. If I wefe a poet, I could not find A finer theme, to try to rhyme, As it ripples and runs past our home To streams and rivers un known, It bids us a fond and sweet adieu, With its bubbling song: Be True, Be True. —'VENITA BEST. REFLECTION As 1 sit and look out of my window At God's beauty of mountains and brooks, At the birds in the air I’m convinced that no where Is there beauty that can com pare. And I wonder if people look ing in Can catch a reflection of love. If a pure mind and heart they see In the person I hope is me. —VENITA BEST. THE MORNING HOUR Alone with God, in quiet peace, From earthly cares I find release; New strength I borrow for each day As there with God, I stop to pray. Alone with God, my sins con fessed He speaks in mercy, I am blessed. I know the kiss of pardon free, I talk to God. He talks to me. Alone with God, my vision clears I see my guilt, the wasted years; I plead for grace to walk His way And live for Him. from day to day. Alone with God, no sin be tween, His lovely face so plainly seen; My guilt all gone, my heart at rest With Christ, my Lord, my soul is blest. Lord keep my life, alone for Thee, From sin and self, Lord, set 1 me free. And when no more this earth I trod They’ll say, ‘'He walked alone with God.” —Selected. Courtesy of Oettinger Bros., Inc.
