THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL
My lord rides thru his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many a thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily.
The sailor ploughs the foaming sea.
The huntsman Kills the good red deer
And the soldier wars without a fear,
But fall to each whate'er b%efalis,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammerth cheerily his sword,
Priest preacheth pure and holy word,
Dame Alice wOrketh brOidery well,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her fOaming beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere.
And courtiers, ruff1e, strut and shine
While pages bring the Gascon wine,
But fall to each what'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high
Whatever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great show the builders hand.
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers,
Great work is done, bet here and there,
And well man worketh everywhere,
Bnt work or rest, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Charles G. Leland.
