Poor Farmer John, c
4
OM Farmer John was sore perplexed?
Kav. Fanuer John" was really vexed '
He labor* early, labor's late,
Vet never talks of adverse fate;
For al! bis toilinns scarce suffice,
01" longed for latnfs to pay the price.
Tlie synjin-TK com*, the summars go,
The>sfr|fcfshoiyers? waste the winter's snow:
The while, from dawn till close of day,
Receiving naught but fmwn\for pay i
Hjs good wife toils: and anxious care
lias faded lip and check and hair.
*
Acres on acres stretch nwav "
Of woodland, corn, of wheat and hay;
Tfis cattle roam o'er many a hill,,
llis brooklet urns the groaning mill;
Yet still lie sighs, and longs for more,
And ftrnmblof o'er that he is poor
? n . O . ? * * 4 ' 1
Four sturdy sons, four daugnters fair
riaimed at his hands a father's care,
He gave them labor without end,
And strove their souls, like liis, to bend
Into the narrowing groove of. thought? .
Gold to be Mfc-ntd(,land to be sought.
Ves, Farmer John is growing poor!
Yon see it as you pass his door, 4.
His old brown house is small and mean, |
The roof is cracked by warp and seam;
The leaning eaves, the half-hanged door,
Proclaim old John is very poor.
No books : no pictures on the wall;
Carpet leas room and dreary hal'.
Why think it strange that fanners' hoys
ShouU seek thocity's pomp and noise? .
Shmml learn toftoathe nfe sight of horifa!
Where naught of joy or grace may come.
We think it strange his poor old wife,
Who coined for him her very life,
Should pause, at last, despite his frown,
And lay her weary burden down
I*'joy* to walk thastroets of heaven,
Where naught is sold, but all is given ?
Go where you will, search earth around.
The poorest man th*t onn bo found,
t? k? through life to gain
Widest extent of hill and plain :
Forgetting all his soul's best needs,
In counting o'er his title deeds.
