THE FARMER KING.
BIZ GEORGE W. BUSGAY.
The farmer sat in his old arm chair,
Rosy and fair,
Contented there,
- "Kate, deslare,"
He said to his wife, who was knitting near,
- We need not fear
The hard times here,
Though the leaf of life is yellow and sere.
Pm the king, and you sre the queen
OF this fair scene;
These fields OF green.
And gold between,
These cattle grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill,
And sheep SO still,
Like many held by single will.
These barnyard fowls are our subjects all
They heed the call.
And like a squat
On fast wings TALL,
Whenever we scatter for them the grain.
IT'S not in vain
We live and reign
In this our happy and calm domain.
And whether the days be dim or fine,
In rain and shine.
These lands of mine,
These fields of thine,
In cloudy shade and in sunset glow,
Will overflow
With crops that grow,
When gold is high and when it is low.
Unvexed with shiftingof stocks and shares,
And bulls and bears,
Stripes and cares,
And the affairs
OF speculation in mart aud street;
In this retreat
Sweet Peace can meet
With Plenty on her rural beat"
