GO BACK TO THE FARM.

Jake II. Harrison)
Go back to the farm, all ye idle and
poor,
Go back to where the gardens are
Go back to where theg ardens are
made in the spring,
And winds cool your brow when they
blow;
Where Nature is smiling with glad
ness and health,
Exacting no illness as toll,
Where men are not rated in dollars
and cents,
And friendship is sweet to the soul.
Go where you may smell the sweet
scent of the soil,
When p,owmen are turning the earth,
Go back to the cot where your fathers
were born
Go back to where freedom had birth;
Go live with the tillers OF soil, and
be good,
Away from the city and sin,
Go, gol and be honest, and earnest
and free,
Go work. and good living win.
Leave all the deception that perjuIes
your soul,
The littleness, cheating and strife,
Go live with the farmers, and work
and be wise,
Go taste of the true simple life;
Go gain independence from worry and
care.
Raise things you must eat in your
fields,
Get free from the grocer, the butcher
and all,
And know the sweet pleasure it
yields,
That God made the country and men
made the towns,
Is true as the Bible, You know,
Then no, for the country and sweet |
country air
10 where you may fatten and grow; |
Leave all the confusion, temptation
and sin,
10 live in the field and the wood,
10 back to the glebe, where your
fathers were born
10 dig" and grow happy ard good.
