They feed the cows and make the hay.
They trim the lawns and help the bees,
Until the sun sinks through the trees.
Then they lay aside their cares,
Fold their hands and say their prayers.
And drop their tired little heads,
To sleep in Glover beds.
Then when day dawns clear and blue,
They wake and wash in morning dew;
And as the sun climbs up the sky
They hold them up and let them dry.
