I'll be one with that legion of old,
And I'll take my proud place with the members
Of the Scarlet, the Blue, and the Gold.

And then I had to bid my sunflowers good-night.

Ye holy walls, that still sublime
Resist the crumbling touch of time,
How strongly still your form displays
The piety of ancient days.

Corn

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky.

Carrots and Beets

Beauty of hue is here less often seen
Than in the flowers we grow to please the eye;
But when did Nature not delight in green?

Deer on a foggy morning

 

Of all the animals God has made,
He has the sweetest head,
And looks so pretty in the glade,
With his coat of chestnut red.
