Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCA DDDDEFD DDDDDDD DGGDDDD DBBDDDD

The teasel and the horsemint spreadA
The hillside as with sunset sownB
With blossoms o'er the Standing StoneB
That ripples in its rocky bedA
There are no treasuries that holdC
Gold richer than the marigoldC
That crowns its sparkling headA
-
'Tis harvest time a mower standsD
Among the morning wheat and whetsD
His scythe and for a space forgetsD
The labor of the ripening landsD
Then bends and through the dewy grainE
His long scythe hisses and againF
He swings it in his handsD
-
And she beholds him where he mowsD
On acres whence the water sendsD
Faint music of reflecting bendsD
And falls that interblend with flowsD
She stands among the old bee gumsD
Where all the apiary humsD
A simple bramble roseD
-
She hears him whistling as he leansD
And reaping sweeps the ripe wheat byG
She sighs and smiles and knows not whyG
Nor what her heart's disturbance meansD
He whets his scythe and resting seesD
Her rose like 'mid the hives of beesD
Beneath the flowering beansD
-
The peacock purple lizard creepsD
Along the rail and deep the droneB
Of insects makes the country loneB
With summer where the water sleepsD
She hears him singing as he swingsD
His scythe who thinks of other thingsD
Than toil and singing reapsD
