Today's word is "gapeseed" ... British Dialect. a person who gapes or stares in wonder, especially a rustic or unworldly person who is easily awed.
Oh!
The city spires upward grow,
Miles of skyscrapered windows stare,
The view is full of signs for shows,
And everyone knows just what to wear.
The gapeseed wanders high and low,
Astonished by each thing he sees,
His wonder seems to grow and grow,
He knows that nothing will be free.
I feel like him each time I turn,
And stare at the earth's beautific face,
Awed and amazed, each day I learn,
Of God's relentless power and grace.
