THE FARMERS POEM
Amelia E. Barr (1831- 1918)
The farmer's trade,
Is one of worth;
He's partner with the sky and earth,
He's partner with the sun and rain,
And no man loses for his gain;
And men may rise or men may fall,
But the farmer, He must feed them all.
God bless the man who sows the wheat;
Who finds us milk and fruit and meat;
May his purse be heavy,
His heart be light,
His cattle and corn and all go right
God bless the seeds his hands let fall,
For the farmer,
He must feed us all
