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!
