Gladys I. Swanson Poems

The Minnesota Woodlands are sounding out]
Tranquil creeks and questions have perfect features
Then when you are listening very intensely
You can hear sounds of woodland creatures.
...

Music is laughter as a sounding of the wind,
It always wants to make one sing, sing, sing.
Oh what beauty is the total heartful rapture
That creates a new melodious rhythm to capture.
...

The poor have hope and trust in God
For He brings them from depths of despair,
And then lifting them up in spirit and strength
To live in quiet dignity and heartfelt repair.
...
