LINES TO A PUMPING ENGINE FOR A RELIGIOUS HOUSE: 2. NEW STYLE, by                    
First Line: The little grassy hollow is sunny
Last Line: So-called.
Subject(s): Religion; Water Supply; Wellesley College; Theology; Dams; Reservoirs; Water Mains


THE little grassy hollow is sunny.
The grass is wet and oozy and bright green.
Do not forget your rubbers.
There is a spring in the sunny hollow;
And there are mosquitoes.

The Community
Has built a little cabin
Over the spring in the hollow.
The pumping engine
Lives in the little cabin.
It looks easy,
But it takes a man to run it.
The motive power is gasoline
And possibly
God --
So-called.
