Life on a Farm

by

DAY KELLOGG LEE

  "When now the cock, the ploughman's horn,
  Calls forth the lily-wristed morn,
  Then to thy cornfields thou dost go,
  Which, though well-soil'd, yet thou dost know
  That the best compost for the lands
  Is the wise master's feet and hands."
      —HERRICK

Second Thousand.
