When a friend calls to me from the road / And slows his horse to a meaning walk, / I don't stand still and look around / On all the hills I haven't hoed, / And shout from where I am, What is it?

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, / Blade-end up and five feet tall, / And plod: I go up to the stone wall / For a friendly visit.
