Sow in the morn thy seed,

At eve hold not thy hand;

To doubt and fear give thou no heed;

Broad-cast it o'er the land.

2 And duly shall appear,

In verdure, beauty, strength,

The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,

And the full corn at length.

3 Thou canst not toil in vain;

Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
