The Tiller of the Soil.


By dint OF craft, he coaxes from the
field.
Stubborn olttimes, a rich, luxuriant
yield
Wherewith to feed the nations of
the earth.
Yet they be few who ken his hon
est worth
And some do deem him narrow; but
of stream,
Forest and field, his lore they little
dream;
For Nature teachesshim her mystic
ways
Throughout each changing seasons
passing days.
Far from gilded haunts that tempt
mems souls,
His FURNISHED share sthe fallow fur
row rolls
Along the fertile field;sgand later,
there
The merry harvest song lifts on the
air.
Content to labor in his humble place
Content to fill his small allotted
r.. =. space,
He quaffs the glowing sunshine's
mellow wine,
And dwells beneath his own fig
tree and vine.
