Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDCD EFGG HHHHThere are four men mowing down by the Isar | A |
I can hear the swish of the scythe strokes four | A |
Sharp breaths taken yea and I | B |
Am sorry for what's in store | A |
- | |
The first man out of the four that's mowing | C |
Is mine I claim him once and for all | D |
Though it's sorry I am on his young feet knowing | C |
None of the trouble he's led to stall | D |

As he sees me bringing the dinner he lifts | E |
His head as proud as a deer that looks | F |
Shoulder deep out of the corn and wipes | G |
His scythe blade bright unhooks | G |

The scythe stone and over the stubble to me | H |
Lad thou hast gotten a child in me | H |
Laddie a man thou'lt ha'e to be | H |
Yea though I'm sorry for thee | H |
