I found this one on sheepstuff.com
Let the Wealthy & Great, Roll in Splendor and State, I envy them not, I declare it, I eat my own Lamb, My Chickens & Ham, I shear my own fleece & I wear it, I have Lawns, I have Bowers, I have Fruits, I have Flowers, The Lark is my morning alarmer, so jolly boys now, Here's God Speed the Plough, Long Life & Success to the Farmer.
English Verse circa 1890
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2 Visit my web site store at http://www.watkinsonline.com/fish or my homepage at http://home.earthlink.net/~brightmeadow |
