Analysis of Ground to Dust
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Many leaves are on the ground
But there the righteous can’t be found
They got caught up and swept away
The trees cut down; the stumps remain
But the wicked won’t ever enjoy the land
God knows all their evil plans
The stumps will be raised up again
To terrify those wicked men
