THE FAIRY RING

"LABORARE EST ORARE,"

"LABORARE EST ORARE,"

A RONDEAU OF FIELD-LABOURERS

And knees and hands deep in the sod,

Search out and shape the Will of God

(Sure God and Mary bless the rod:)

To labour is to pray.

We work His Will in ear and pod;

And when His harvest-eyes applaud,

To labour is to pray.

Ballymore, Donegal.
