One of the most important steps to civilization was the invention of agriculture, especially the cultivation of grain. Over time, our ancestors changed the plants they grew. Corn and barley shaped the new world. Here is a song in praise of grain, at a time when it stands tall in fields yet is still vulnerable to all sorts of hazards before the harvest.

Standing in the fields
Blue corn and green,
Mother and maid-
Standing in the meadow
Awaiting the blade.
Sing of the old ones,
Who were before we were born.
Sing of the scarecrow
And John Barleycorn.
Bow to the east wind,
And feed from the Sun.
Bow to the west wind;
The rain has begun.
Bow to the north wind,
Which brings winter's cold.
Bow to the south wind,
As green turns to gold.
Honor ancestors,
The proud and the plain.
Pray for the farmers
Who bring in the grain.
