And through the groves and o'er the hills,
His gladdened herds among.
And joyously he views them all,
From dreary winter free;
And feels as doth the mariner,
Just from the boisterous sea.
Though herbage sere and leafless boughs
Arrest the careless view;
He sees the living germs that peep,
Their winter shelters through.
And gladsomely he greets them all,
Those little buds of hope;
Which soon will 'neath the genial sun,
Their fragrant flowrets ope:
From which he'll see the future fruit.
Emerge and ripen soon;
And thence the Farmer's store of joy,-
Of hope the promised boon.
O' deem not tame such pleasures,
As come with spring's return,
To fill the farmer's bosom,-
Nor yet their offerings spurn.
For O! of earth the sweetest,
The purest joys we sing;
Are those the farmer feeleth,
On the return of spring

And Gladsomely He Greets Them All,
Those Little Buds Of Hope;
Which Soon Will 'Neath The Genial Sun,
Their Fragrant Flowrets Ope:
O' Deem Not Tame Such Pleasures,
As Come With Spring's Return,
To Fill The Farmer's Bosom,
Nor Yet Their Offerings Spurn.
For O! Of Earth The Sweetest,
The Purest Joys We Sing;
Are Those The Farmer Feeleth,
