| And diamonded with dew | B |
| And quivering in the scented wind | C |
| That thrills its green heart through | B |
| The little field the smiling field | D |
| With all its flowers a blowing | E |
| How happy looks the golden field | D |
| The day before the mowing | E |
| - | |
| All still 'neath the departing light | F |
| Twilight though void of stars | G |
| Save where low westering Venus hides | H |
| From the red eye of Mars | G |
| How quiet lies the silent field | D |
| With all its beauties glowing | E |
| Just stirring like a child asleep | I |
| The night before the mowing | E |
| Sharp steel inevitable hand | J |
| Cut keen cut kind Our field | D |
| We know full well must be laid low | K |
| Before its wealth it yield | D |
| Labor and mirth and plenty blest | L |
| Its blameless death bestowing | E |
| And yet we weep and yet we weep | I |
| The night before the mowing | E |
