Saturday On The Farm.

Topics: classic

'Tis Saturday morn and all is bright         By nature's own endowing;      The sun is fiercely giving light,         And only me--              Plowing.      Across the river I hear the sound         Of a boatman slowly rowing;      I have no time to fool around,         Especially when I'm--              Hoeing.      And when the dinner hour has come,         And thoughts of work are fleeting,      I only hear the insects hum,         Because I'm busy--              Eating.      At night when all things are at rest,         Safe in Old Morpheus' keeping,      No troubles do my mind infest,         For I am soundly--              Sleeping.
