Matthias Claudius Quotes (2 Quotes)

We plough the fields and scatterThe good seed on the land,But it is fed and wateredBy God's almighty handHe sends the snow in winter,The warmth to swell the grain,The breezes and the sunshineAnd soft refreshing rain.

Adam laid himself down in Paradise to sleep; While from him was taken a wife to keep. Adam poor father of creations best; Your first taste of sleep was your last of rest.
