Analysis of Solid Ground. Five Below.
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Cold walk this Sunday
Bundled for chills
Jack Frost at will
And sparrows below
And at rest.
Theirs not the fretting, ennui
And “What if”.
Theirs God has crafted
And ruffled design.
Small berries handy
And everything fine.
They will just sing
And hop all around.
They are the lesson.
Their trust, solid ground.
