Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG IJIJ KKKK| 'Tis the feast of corn 'tis the feast of bread | A |
| On the dear scene returned to witnessed again | B |
| So white is the light o'er the reapers shed | A |
| Their shadows fall pink on the level grain | C |
| - | |
| The stalked gold drops to the whistling flight | D |
| Of the scythes whose lightning dives deep leaps clear | E |
| The plain labor strewn to the confines of sight | D |
| Changes face at each instant gay and severe | E |
| - | |
| All pants all is effort and toil 'neath the sun | F |
| The stolid old sun tranquil ripener of wheat | G |
| Who works o'er our haste imperturbably on | H |
| To swell the green grape yon turning it sweet | G |
| - | |
| Work on faithful sun for the bread and the wine | I |
| Feed man with the milk of the earth and bestow | J |
| The frank glass wherein unconcern laughs divine | I |
| Ye harvesters vintagers work on aglow | J |
| - | |
| For from the flour's fairest and from the vine's best | K |
| Fruit of man's strength spread to earth's uttermost | K |
| God gathers and reaps to His purposes blest | K |
| The Flesh and the Blood for the chalice and host | K |
