! BREAKING STUBBLE,
| Xsaw the plow go up the hill
The rolling uplands plowing:
The harrow followed it to till
The ground for early sowing,
O! upland wide, that erst was brown,
And plowing leaves more homely;
The summer brings your verdant crown,
With herbage covered comely.
And then the yellow harvest comes
Fit for the time of reaping,
The cheerful time of ‘harvest home,”
With thankful hearts in keeping.
Ah! in our lives wo sometimes feel
The lines of plow and harrow;
In smoothest places, oft, the steel
Leaves trenches broad and narrow,
Lord of the Harvest! ‘twas Thy hand
The plower’s hand that guided;
