{{Lyrics|
In a plain Spring landscape
Stands a tractor driver
He's a simple verity
In the noble theme of labour

A chorus of small birds
Sings — a live bubbling stream
And the hope of the future
Pervades the rural scene

The man surveys the meadows
At the start of Spring
With all the blithe amazement
His simplicity can bring

Overjoyed — a little awed —
By nature and himself;
By tremendous natural power
By his optimism and health

As if to match the progress
Of a thought so high
The exhaust trail of an aeroplane
Is written in the sky
