Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC DEDF GHGI JKJK LMNM OAOA| Matthew xiii | A |
| - | |
| Ye sons of earth prepare the plough | B |
| Break up your fallow ground | C |
| The sower is gone forth to sow | B |
| And scatter blessings round | C |
| - | |
| The seed that finds a stony soil | D |
| Shoots forth a hasty blade | E |
| But ill repays the sower's toil | D |
| Soon wither'd scorch'd and dead | F |
| - | |
| The thorny ground is sure to balk | G |
| All hopes of harvest there | H |
| We find a tall and sickly stalk | G |
| But not the fruitful ear | I |
| - | |
| The beaten path and highway side | J |
| Receive the trust in vain | K |
| The watchful birds the spoil divide | J |
| And pick up all the grain | K |
| - | |
| But where the Lord of grace and power | L |
| Has bless'd the happy field | M |
| How plenteous is the golden store | N |
| The deep wrought furrows yield | M |
| - | |
| Father of mercies we have need | O |
| Of thy preparing grace | A |
| Let the same Hand that give me seed | O |
| Provide a fruitful place | A |
William Cowper
