• We plough the fields, and scatter
     The good seed on the land;
  But it is fed and watered
     By God's almighty hand:
  He sends the snow in winter,
     The warmth to swell the grain,
  The breezes and the sunshine,
     And soft refreshing rain.
  • "We Plough the Fields and Scatter", st. 1. Garland of Songs (1861)
  • Translated from the German of Matthias Claudius, Wir pflügen und wir streuen
