- 1Sow 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.
- 2And duly shall appear
- In verdure, beauty, strength,
- The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
- And the full corn at length.
- 3Thou canst not toil in vain;
- Cold, heat, the moist and dry,
- Shall foster and mature the grain
- For garners in the sky.
- 4Then, when the glorious end,
- The day of God shall come,
- The angel-reapers shall descend,
- And heaven sing "Harvest home!"
