| Yes your up dated modern page | B |
| All flower fresh as it appears | C |
| Can claim a time tried lineage | D |
| - | |
| That reaches backward fifty years | C |
| Which if but short for sleepy squires | E |
| Is much in magazines' careers | C |
| - | |
| Here on your cover never tires | E |
| The sower reaper thresher while | F |
| As through the seasons of our sires | G |
| - | |
| Each wills to work in ancient style | F |
| With seedlip sickle share and flail | H |
| Though modes have since moved many a mile | F |
| - | |
| The steel roped plough now rips the vale | H |
| With cog and tooth the sheaves are won | I |
| Wired wheels drum out the wheat like hail | H |
| - | |
| But if we ask what has been done | I |
| To unify the mortal lot | J |
| Since your bright leaves first saw the sun | I |
| - | |
| Beyond mechanic furtherance what | K |
| Advance can rightness candour claim | L |
| Truth bends abashed and answers not | J |
| - | |
| Despite your volumes' gentle aim | L |
| To straighten visions wry and wrong | M |
| Events jar onward much the same | L |
| - | |
| Had custom tended to prolong | M |
| As on your golden page engrained | J |
| Old processes of blade and prong | M |
| - | |
| And best invention been retained | J |
| For high crusades to lessen tears | N |
| Throughout the race the world had gained | J |
| But too much this for fifty years | C |
