Analysis of Tada
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
If I could stop the earth from turning
Run a hundred miles an hour
Move the mountains from their place
And touch the trees and make them smile
The trees would leave and the flowers bloom
The Lord our God is coming soon!
Depart from me you evildoers!
