SAXON HARVEST HEALTH by ARTHUR GUITERMAN

First Line: HERE'S TO THE PLOW THAT FURROWED
Last Line: THE BLESSING OF SHEAVES OF GRAIN.
Subject(s): FARM LIFE; HARVEST; NEW YORK CITY - COLONIAL PERIOD; AGRICULTURE; FARMERS;

@3Here's to the plow that furrowed,
Here's to the hand that sowed,
Here's to the rake that harrowed,
Here's to the arm that mowed!

Blest with the choice of blessings
Are orchard and hill and plain --
The blessing of Grapes and Apples,
The blessing of Sheaves of Grain.@1
