Click hereDo we sough the best of our land
And leave the rest for fallow?
Stretch out our sickles
To cut the wheat from chaff?
Feast our finest lambs
And the leave the rest to wither?
I am ever ill, so I ponder,
What would the kind shepherd do?
What would the wise?
Pretty good idea but a couple of agricultural points.
Sough usually means a ditch, a boggy place in Middle English, or, in Old English a deep sigh or similar sound, or did you mean sow?.
You wouldn't cut wheat to separate it from chaff but if a sickle was your cutting technology you would probably use a flail in a light wind for separation, the process being called winnowing. Sorry to be pedantic but the image messed up a metaphor the idea behind it being sound.
