With my granite jaws I devour
The maize, and the wheat, and the rye,
And grind them into flour.
Aloft here in my tower,
With my granite jaws I devour
The maize, and the wheat, and the rye,
And grind them into flour.
I look down over the farms;
In the fields of grain I see
The harvest that is to be,
And I fling to the air my arms,
For I know it is all for me.
In the fields of grain I see

For I know it is all for me.
I hear the sound of flails
Far off, from the threshing-floors
In barns, with their open doors,
Far off, from the threshing-floors
In barns, with their open doors,
