IA
STRIDE the hill SowerB
Up to the sky ridgeC
Flinging the seedD
Scattering exultantE
Mouthing great rhythmsF
To the long sea beatsG
On the wide shore behindH
The ridge of the hillsideI
-
Below in the darknessJ
The slumber of mothersK
The cradles at restL
The fire seed sleepingM
Deep in white ashesN
-
Give to darkness and sleepO
O Sower O SeerP
Give me to the earthQ
With the seed I would enterB
Oh the growth through the silenceR
From strength to new strengthS
Then the strong bursting forthT
Against primal forcesU
To laugh in the sunshineV
To gladden the worldW
-
IIA
Who will bring the red fireB
Unto a new hearthX
Who will lay the wide stoneY
On the waste of the earthQ
-
Who is fain to beginZ
To build day by dayA2
To raise up his houseB2
Of the moist yellow clayA2
-
There's clay for the makingM
Moist in the pitC2
There are horses to trampleD2
The rushes through itC2
-
Above where the wild duckE2
Arise up and flyA
There one can buildF2
To the wind and the skyA
-
There are boughs in the forestG2
To pluck young and greenH2
O'er them thatch of the cropI2
Shall be heavy and cleanH2
-
I speak unto himJ2
Who in dead of the nightK2
Sees the red streaksL2
In the ash deep and whiteK2
-
While around him he hearsM2
Men stir in their restL
And the stir of the babeN2
That is close to the breastL
-
He shall ariseO2
He shall go forth aloneY
Lay stone on the earthQ
And bring fire to stoneY
