Excerpt from Rural Life Poems The Farmer Dedicated to the sons of toil, Who bless the world by toiling the soil. The farmer's a hustler, he hurries all day. He thinks there's little of time for play, For in summer he seeks to store away For the winter. He's always busy and does what he can, For the farmer, of course, is a business man, In winter he feeds and studies the plan, For the summer. The farmer's life is a merry routine As he tills the soil with brain and machine, With extras always, but time between For some leisure. He has drudgery, too, if he would complain, But this he forgets as he thinks of the gain Of reward and pleasures that remain For his labor. The farmer is happy, is nearest the sod, And this is in keep with the plan of God. Having chosen this way is willing to plod For enjoyment. He lives close to nature, hears nature sing. The noise of cattle and birds on the wing. The fowls and flocks, most every thing. His music. The farmer's success with the world he divides, Has plenty for self and for others besides. And he of all men in the world provides Our prosperity. He is nearest of all to the source of supply - Tho' sometimes his merit and worth we deny, Yet, certain it is that on him we rely, For our bread.
