Read the poem and answer the questions.

There are so many things to do to-day
In city, field and street,
And people are going everywhere,
With quickly hurrying feet.
Some are ploughing and sowing the seed.
And some are reaping the grain:
And some, who worked the whole night through,
Are coming home again.
Over the hills the shepherd goes,
While in the busy town
People and carts and motor cars
Are running up and down.
And everywhere they come and go
In sun and rain and sleet,
That we may have warm clothes to wear,
And food enough to eat.
Mary Osborn
