Into the west the day goes down	A
Smiling and fading into the night	B
Is it a cross or is it a crown	A
I have worn through all these hours of light	B
	-
Bending over my milk white curds	C
In my dairy under the beech	D
Still the thought of my heart took words	C
And murmured itself in musical speech	D
	-
And all my pans of golden cream	E
Set in a silver shining row	F
Swam in my eyes like the shimmer and sheen	G
Of arms and banners and martial show	F
	-
The bee in his gold laced uniform	H
Drilled the ranks of clover blooms	C
And carried my very heart by storm	H
Mocking the roll of the distant drums	C
	-
But something choked my singing down	A
Deeper than any song expressed	I
Is it a cross or is it a crown	A
On my brow invisibly pressed	I
	-
Out of the east the star watch shines	C
Lighting their camp fires in the gray	J
I count their white tents' lengthening lines	C
And think of those who are far away	J
	-
Where the yellow globes of the orange grow	F
In the southern fields that slope to the sun	K
Oh say have my brothers met the foe	F
Has another Shiloh been lost or won	K
	-
For when the moonlight falls across	C
The threshold of our cottage door	L
My heart is full of a sense of loss	C
As if they would return no more	L
	-
Last year when the April days were fair	M
And the harvest fields were ploughed and sown	N
Two stalwart boys took each his share	M
But now our father toils alone	N
	-
And often at our evening prayers	C
With an absence I can understand	O
I see him look at the vacant chairs	C
And wipe his brow with his wrinkled hand	O
	-
And therefore at the fireside nook	P
Kneeling sadly at night to pray	J
All the light of the holy book	P
Seems to fall and point one way	J
	-
And therefore tending my milk white curds	C
Still the song that my fancy hums	C
Catches the glitter of martial words	C
And sets itself to the beat of drums	C
