Chapter 31
The Fields of France by Catherine Tynan Hingson. Read for LibriVox.org by Bruce Kachuk. Nous avons chassé ce Jésus-Christ. Jesus Christ they chased away, Comes again another day.
Could they do without him then, His poor, lost, unhappy men? He returns and is revealed In the trenches and the field. Where the dead lie thick he goes, Where the brown earth's red as a rose. He who walked the waters wide Treads the winepress purple dyed,
Stoops and bids the piteous slain That they rise with him again. To his breast and in his cloak bears the younglings of the flock, Calls his poor sheep to come home, and his sheep rise up and come. They shall rest by a clear pool mid the pastures beautiful. Jesus Christ they chased away has come back another day.
