the farmers fair



In the gentle meadows of the verdant shire,

Where the golden sunbeams dance and inspire,

There blooms a gathering, humble and pure,

Where farmers are fair, their hearts ensure.

 

With weathered hands, they toil the land,

Each furrow a story, a labor grand.

Seeds of hope, with care, they tenderly sow,

Nourished by Middle-earth's rhythm, whispering low.

 

From dawn's arrival 'til twilight's retreat,

They toil and strive, their purpose complete.

Through sweat and toil, they forge their own fate,

In this sacred dance, a life to celebrate.

 

See the fields, abundant with fruitful grace,

The bounty they bring to the hobbit race.

From amber grains, that sway in harmony,

To orchards laden with fruits of pure alchemy.

 

At the fair, their harvest proudly displayed,

Nature's tapestry, so skillfully made.

Bright sunflowers, reaching for the sky,

Lobelia angry, like any of us care.

 

The fragrant herbs, like whispers on the breeze,

Tease the senses, as they gently appease.

With apples crimson and pears delightful,

They offer flavors, mouths find truly insightful.

 

The tables, adorned with homemade delights,

Cheeses and pies, a feast for all appetites.

Jars filled with honey, sweet as the dawn,

what a gentle feast, to have in the shire.
