Matthias Claudius (15 August 1740 – 21 January 1815) was a German poet and journalist, otherwise known by the pen name of “Asmus”. (wikipedia)
We plough the fields and scatterThe good seed on the land,But it is fed and wateredBy God's almighty hand;He sends the snow in winter,The warmth to swell the grain,The breezes and the sunshineAnd soft refreshing rain.
