| | From “Under the Tree”
I WENT across the pasture lot | |
| When not a one was watching me. | |
| Away beyond the cattle barns | |
| I climbed a little crooked tree. | |
| |
| And I could look down on the field | 5 |
| And see the corn, and how it grows | |
| Across the world, and up and down, | |
| In very straight and even rows. | |
| |
| And far away and far away— | |
| I wonder if the farmer man | 10 |
| Knows all about the corn, and how | |
| It comes together like a fan. | | | | |
