Divine Guest, In Rural Ishikawa Prefecture

The old farmer calls-out to the field,
Inviting the rice god to come in from
The cold -- he escorts the god, concealed
From view, invisible, into the house,
To take a hot bath and have a meal,
In return for which, the farmer hopes
For blessing and big harvest yield.
