C.C.C. PRAYER
This poem was written' almost
four years ago when the Civil-
ian Conservation Corps was in
its infancy. It depicts in a hu-
morous vein the camp scene at
that time. However the under-
lying thought is so realistic that
at this time after four' years of
improvement and changes it is
again' brought forth in a rem-
iniscent mood.
Now I lay irte down to sleep
I pray the Lord mv soul' to itonn.
Grant no other C. C. take
My shoes and socks before I wake.
JLord guard me In any slumber.
A-nd guard this squad tent on its
number.
May no 'more poles nor guy rones
break"'
And let it down before I wako.
Kep me safely in thy sight
Ahdr grant no -forest' fires to-nlte.
And In -the morninir lf mn wnVrv
Breathing' acents of sirloin steak.
Xiord protect nie In my dreams
; And make this better than it seems.
IGrant that time may swiftly fly
IVhon myself shall rest on high.
In a snowy feather bed
; Where 1 long lo feat any head
par away frpm all these scenes
Krom the smell of 'hftlf-ddne beans.
Take mo .back Into the land
Where hills have' grass instead of
Band
"Where no Sergeant's whistle blows.
Where the women wash the clothes.
Ird Thou knowest all my woes '
Feed me In my dying throes.
Take mo hack I'll promise hen
