In Praise of Iris Hill, by the Pigs

Praise be for Iris Hill. 
​1. For trees here are plentiful, and render shade and many tasty acorns for me.

2. For I enjoy many good things.

3. For I sleep, and wake, and live in fresh Ozark air, and it is sweet.
​4. For there is green all around me, and it is delicious.

5. For I may root in the cool soil and find my rest there.
​6. For these hens lay many eggs, and I enjoy the bounty thereof.

7. For I am early a-field, gleaning breakfast in the rising sun.
​8. For Farmer Merry knows the best places to scratch.

9. For there is a party at the swimming hole every evening, and much mud is to be had.

10. For there is milk and whey from the cow.
​11. For Farmer Merry cooks much with apples, and I help.

12. For I am a hog of Iris Hill, and many times blessed.
