Notes

  • Described as 'Selections from Meadowbank Publications No. 3', Green Valleys (194-), in publisher's list (inside backcover of Milestones (1946)).

  • Epigraph: Though many shall seek the top of the world.
    Yet few shall reach their goal;
    And many - disparaged, broken, oppressed -
    Shall find contentment and quiet rest
    In the shelter of God's Green Valleys.

  • Thanksgiving
    I want to thank God for the sun and the trees,
    The birds in the heavens, the bright, gentle breeze,
    The laugh of the river, the grandeur of song,
    The depths of the ocean, the cheer of the throng,
    The ripple of laughter, the stir of the leaves,
    The joy of a triumph, the foam of the seas,
    The scent of the flowers, the sky up above,
    I want to thank God for the wealth of His love.- Nita Heath.
