MDCCCLXX.

"Sow in the morn thy seed,

At eve hold not thy hand;

To doubt and fear give thou no heed,
Broadcast it o'er the land ;-
--

And duly shall appear,
In verdure, beauty, strength,
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.

Thou canst not toil in vain ;
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky."

Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London.
