TIMELESS ROME

TIMELESS

FIELDS

The Irish had their hedges

The English had their homes

The French they had their Vendee

The U.S. roots in loam.

Way out in mid-west cornfields

Out past the waves of grain

Stand right the schools and churches

That put all else to shame.

They labor in the pasture

They labor in the field

And everyday the Holy Mass

Where priestly-powers wield

The force to take the whole grain

That swells from roots in loam...

And generate the Bread of Life;

The fields of timeless Rome!
