Sample hog from which N. K. Fairbank & Co’s lard is made, via the Boston Public Library and Wikimedia CommonsThe Song of King Corn, by C. A. Murch (Verses 1 and 5)The dews of heaven,The rains that fall,The fatness of earth,I claim them all. O’er mountain and plainMy praises ring,O’er ocean and landI am King! I am King!Would you dethrone me? Not so, not so. Still the golden tideShall swell and flow;The earth yield riches,The toilers sing,In the golden landWhere Corn is King.
