"'tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
and when we find ourselves in the place just right,
it will be in the valley of love and delight.

when true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.
to turn, turn will be our delight,
'til by turning, turning we come round right."

bringing in the hay

"the 'summer vacation' period when public schools would close was by tradition to enable farm children to assist in the family hay harvest, as well as the harvest of other crops. this tradition is entrenched to the present day, even though only a very small fraction of school-aged children today in developed countries live on livestock farms."
