Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGHIJI KLKLDFDG| Earnest and sad the solemn tale | A |
| That the sighing winds give back | B |
| Scatt ring the leaves with mournful wail | A |
| O er the forest s faded track | B |
| Gay summer birds have left us now | C |
| For a warmer brighter clime | D |
| Where no leaden sky or leafless bough | C |
| Tell of change and winter time | D |
| - | |
| Reapers have gathered golden store | E |
| Of maize and ripened grain | F |
| And they ll seek the lonely fields no more | E |
| Till the springtide comes again | G |
| But around the homestead s blazing hearth | H |
| Will they find sweet rest from toil | I |
| And many an hour of harmless mirth | J |
| While the snow storm piles the soil | I |
| - | |
| Then why should we grieve for summer skies | K |
| For its shady trees its flowers | L |
| Or the thousand light and pleasant ties | K |
| That endeared the sunny hours | L |
| A few short months of snow and storm | D |
| Of winter s chilling reign | F |
| And summer with smiles and glances warm | D |
| Will gladden our earth again | G |
