II. HARVEST HOME!
The last golden sheaf is borne off from the meadow,
The reaper is gone for his labour is done;
The harvest that grew where no cloud threw its shadow
Was gathered to-day in the smiles of the sun.
See! see! the tankard's foam!
Hark! hark! 'tis harvest home!
The reaper is gone for his labour is done;
The harvest that grew where no cloud threw its shadow
Was gathered to-day in the smiles of the sun.
See! see! the tankard's foam!
Hark! hark! 'tis harvest home!
222
Youth trips to the sound of the pipe and the tabor,
While innocent childhood looks on with his laugh,
And happy old age tells some listening neighbour
Of festivals past, as he leans on his staff.
See! see! the tankard's foam!
Hark! hark! 'tis harvest home!
While innocent childhood looks on with his laugh,
And happy old age tells some listening neighbour
Of festivals past, as he leans on his staff.
See! see! the tankard's foam!
Hark! hark! 'tis harvest home!
