I	A
	-
We bore him through the golden land	B
One early harvest morn	C
The corn stood ripe on either hand	B
He knew all about the corn	C
	-
How shall the harvest gathered be	D
Without him standing by	A
Without him walking on the lea	D
The sky is scarce a sky	A
	-
The year's glad work is almost done	E
The land is rich in fruit	F
Yellow it floats in air and sun	E
Earth holds it by the root	F
	-
Why should earth hold it for a day	G
When harvest time is come	H
Death is triumphant o'er decay	G
And leads the ripened home	I
	-
II	A
	-
And though the sun be not so warm	J
His shining is not lost	K
Both corn and hope of heart and farm	L
Lie hid from coming frost	K
	-
The sombre woods are richly sad	M
Their leaves are red and gold	N
Are thoughts in solemn splendour clad	M
Signs that we men grow old	N
	-
Strange odours haunt the doubtful brain	O
From fields and days gone by	A
And mournful memories again	P
Are born are loved and die	A
	-
The mornings clear the evenings cool	Q
Foretell no wintry wars	R
The day of dying leaves is full	S
The night of glowing stars	T
	-
III	A
	-
'Tis late before the sun will rise	U
And early he will go	V
Gray fringes hang from the gray skies	U
And wet the ground below	V
	-
Red fruit has followed golden corn	C
The leaves are few and sere	W
My thoughts are old as soon as born	C
And chill with coming fear	W
	-
The winds lie sick no softest breath	X
Floats through the branches bare	Y
A silence as of coming death	X
Is growing in the air	Y
	-
But what must fade can bear to fade	Z
Was born to meet the ill	A2
Creep on old Winter deathly shade	Z
We sorrow and are still	A2
	-
IV	B2
	-
There is no longer any heaven	E
To glorify our clouds	C2
The rising vapours downward driven	E
Come home in palls and shrouds	C2
	-
The sun himself is ill bested	D2
A heavenly sign to show	V
His radiance dimmed to glowing red	E2
Can hardly further go	V
	-
An earthy damp a churchyard gloom	F2
Pervade the moveless air	Y
The year is sinking to its tomb	F2
And death is everywhere	Y
	-
But while sad thoughts together creep	G2
Like bees too cold to sting	H2
God's children in their beds asleep	G2
Are dreaming of the spring	H2
