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!

Another fine piece, though as usual I see not the point of the exclamation. It sounds like an introduction to a book on traditional Catholicism in the Midwest.
Oh, Crusader, I have no idea why I do what I do!! I was just excited about the timelessness of Rome!!! Whoops, there I go again!
