[The summer trees are tempest-torn]
The summer trees are tempest-torn,
The hills are wrapped in a mantle wide
Of folding rain by the mad wind borne
Across the country side.
The hills are wrapped in a mantle wide
Of folding rain by the mad wind borne
Across the country side.

His scourge of fury is lashing down
The delicate-ranked golden corn,
That never more shall rear its crown
And curtsey to the morn.
The delicate-ranked golden corn,
That never more shall rear its crown
And curtsey to the morn.
There shews no care in heaven to save
Man's pitiful patience, or provide
A season for the season's slave,
Whose trust hath toiled and died.
Man's pitiful patience, or provide
A season for the season's slave,
Whose trust hath toiled and died.
So my proud spirit in me is sad,
A wreck of fairer fields to mourn,
The ruin of golden hopes she had,
My delicate-ranked corn.
A wreck of fairer fields to mourn,
The ruin of golden hopes she had,
My delicate-ranked corn.
