[The Harvester by Gene Stratton Porter]@TWC D-Link bookThe Harvester CHAPTER X 32/63

Whenever I find these flowers I always pause for a little service of my own that begins by reciting these lines: "'Neath cloistered boughs, each floral bell that swingeth And tolls its perfume on the passing air, Makes Sabbath in the fields, and ever ringeth A call to prayer."

Anywhere the blue bell rings its call it is Sunday in the woods and in your heart.
