FARMER, by                    
First Line: A man who loves the soil
Last Line: Builds for him a life of fullness earned.
Subject(s): Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers


A man who loves the soil, --
He feels within his heart
A sympathy for earthly toil.

He works the land and knows
The tale of life and death
As told by dust and snows.

The quiet woodland trails
Spell peace to him, and in that
Silence strength avails.

He sows the seed and waits
The miracle of sun and rain.
He reads the stars and wind, and rates

The harvest, -- a crib of golden corn
And bulging bins. If that should
Fail, new hope is born, --

Fresh furrows turned.
Undying faith in seed time
Builds for him a life of fullness earned.
