When the summer harvest was gathered in	A
And the sheaf of the gleaner grew white and thin	A
And the ploughshare was in its furrow left	B
Where the stubble land had been lately cleft	B
An Indian hunter with unstrung bow	C
Looked down where the valley lay stretched below	D
	-
He was a stranger there and all that day	E
Had been out on the hills a perilous way	E
But the foot of the deer was far and fleet	F
And the wolf kept aloof from the hunter's feet	F
And bitter feelings passed o'er him then	G
As he stood by the populous haunts of men	G
	-
The winds of autumn came over the woods	H
As the sun stole out from their solitudes	H
The moss was white on the maple's trunk	I
And dead from its arms the pale vine shrunk	I
And ripened the mellow fruit hung and red	J
Were the tree's withered leaves round it shed	J
	-
The foot of the reaper moved slow on the lawn	K
And the sickle cut down the yellow core	L
The mower sung loud by the meadow side	M
Where the mists of evening were spreading wide	M
And the voice of the herdsmen came up the lea	N
And the dance went round by the greenwood tree	N
	-
Then the hunter turned away from the scene	O
Where the home of his fathers once had been	A
And heard by the distant and measured stroke	P
That the woodman hewed down the giant oak	P
And burning thoughts flashed over his mind	Q
Of the white man's faith and love unkind	Q
	-
The moon of the harvest grew high and bright	R
As her golden horn pierced the cloud of white	R
A footstep was heard in the rustling brake	S
Where the beech overshadowed the misty lake	S
And a mourning voice and a plunge from shore	L
And the hunter was seen on the hills no more	L
	-
When years had passed on by that still lakeside	M
The fisher looked down through the silver tide	M
And there on the smooth yellow sand displayed	T
A skeleton wasted and white was laid	T
And 't was seen as the waters moved deep and slow	D
That the hand was still grasping a hunter's bow	C
