Again Is called 10 the halls of state;
Again his stalwart form shall be
A bulwaTk for right and liberty.
All hail, brave chieftan hail to thee,

Brave hearts and true are round ye here.

And three times three for her absent one:

Saw YOU the Granger at his plow,
As you were passing by?
Or, wearied meath his long-day tolls,
When autumn suns were high?
And thought you that his lot was hard
And did you thank your God,
That you, and yours, were not condemn'd d
Thus, like slave to plod?
Go, see him at his pleasant home,
When garden, field, and tree,
Conspire with richest stores, to fill
His barn and granary.
His healthful children gaily sport,
Upon the new mown hay;
Or, gladly, aid, with vigorous arm.
His task as best they may.
The dog partakes his masters joy,
And guards the loaded vain,
The joyful poultry clap their wings,
And lead their youngling train.
Perehance, the Granger's loving wife,
The pleasant scene surveys,
And breathes blessing on her race;
Or, guides the evening praise
The Harvest. Giver is their friend:
He made the fertile soil -
And Earth, the Mother, gives them bread,
And cheers their patients toll.
Go, ioin the Changers wintry hearth,
Their heartfelt pleasures see,
Then you can better judge how blest,
The Changers life may be.
