For sun when crops reach the sky,
For peace at harvest's end,
A farmer's thanks ascend."

Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world."

And watch it die, then dry his eyes and say, 'Maybe next year.'
So God made a farmer."

Where furrows of dreams yield
A harvest the world will reap."

A world of bread from earth’s embrace."

The wisdom of your timeless ways,
The soil is rich, the harvest true,
And all of life depends on you."

In the silent toil of your hands,
The earth finds its eternal truth."

The farmer toils, the seeds will grow,
Each day a promise to the earth,
Each harvest a symbol of life’s rebirth."

Scattering seeds for tomorrow's hue,
With hope as vast as the morning skies,
The farmer dreams where the future lies."

Most worthy, and, after all,
Our most pleasing responsibility."
