Let the Wealthy & Great, Roll in Splendor and State, I envy then not I declare it, I eat my own Lamb, My Chickens & Ham, I shear my own fleece & I wear it, I have Lawns, I have Bowers, I have Fruits, I have Flowers, The Lark is my morning alarmer, so jolly boys now, Here's God Speed the Plough, Long Life & Success to the Farmer. English Verse circa 1890 See you at the Farm! Peter & Yvonne Uhlianuk
