Times-Advocate, Exeter
Dear Mr. Editor:
Just thought I would let you know
F had seen your splendid thought re
"More Whistling and Singing”
and’ copied and reprinted
in the London Free Press. I agree
entirely with your expressed opinion.
Nothing else can take the place of a
good old-fashioned sing-song and I
think if more church services would
(have more sing-songs as a beginning
it might bring many more, both
young and older people together in
worship and song. If I may add a
few more words in favor of singing
which is one of the best forms of
happy relaxation; that is good sing
ing, by that I mean not the senti
mental croony trash of which we
hear far too much over the radio—
but songs that .have some real mean
ing whether religious or otherwise.
I do not mean we may all be good
singers, but nothing so inspires one
as good hearty congregational sing
ing. I have myself been ginging in
choirs for over 6 0 years which may
or may not be a record for continu
ous service. Just .doing our best.
The Good Book says “and they shall
sing around title Great White Throne’
&c. &c. Thanking you for the splen
did thought of easing our burdens
and help try to bear our sorrows in
happy song. The following is a short
poem on “The Blue-Bird’s Song”
Oh Bluebird, lend me your endless
song,
That I may know joy this whole day
long;
You warble in strains of joyous fate
That Charm and enhance your quiet
mate.
No sound of sorrow comes from your
throat,
True happiness rounds each lovely
note;
Af if burdened with rapture you soar
and fly,
Winging blue ’gainst blue in a song
to the sky.
**
Is it love of the May wood of which
you sinig,
Or ethereal music to me you bring;
The saddest note the field larks tell
Is truly one my heart knows well.
And a hermit thrush in a deep May
wood,
Oft sings a song to fit my mood;
But bluebird you bring from
skies
A song of joy that never dies.
Just one of my recitations.
Believe me yours truly. Born
Exeter, over 7’0 years ago.
