To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I A pickaxe, or a bill ! A hook to reap, or a scythe to mow, A flail, or what ye will, — Digitized by <^OOgle THE LAY OP THE LABORER. 83 And here 's a ready hand To ply the needful tool, 'And skilled enough, by lessons rough, In Labor^s rugged schooL To hedge, or dig the ditch, To lop or fell the tree, To lay the swath on the sultry field. Or plough the stubborn lea ; The harvest stack to bind. The wheaten rick to thatch. And never fear in my pouch to find The tinder or the match. To a flaming barn or farm My fancies never roam ; The fire I yearn to kindle and bum Is on the hearth of Home ; Where children huddle and crouch Through dark long winter days, Where starving children huddle and crouch, To see the cheerful rays, A -glowing on the haggard cheek, And not in the haggard;s bja^i^ 84 FAVORITE POEMS. To Him who sends a drought To parch the fields forlorn. The rain to flood the meadows with mud, The blight to blast the com, To Him I leave to guide The bolt in its crooked path, To strike the miser's rick, and show The skies blood-red with wrath.
