Stuart Adamson
Harvest Home
Who saw the fences falling?Who broke the ploughman's bread?Who heard the winter calling?Who wore the tailor's thread?How many sheaves were counted?How did the carriage shine?How many thoughts were doubted?How did the landlord dine?Just as you sow you shall reapWho led the mayday feasting?Who saw the harvest home?Who left the future wasting?Who watched the families go?See where the bowls are emptySee where the arms reachSee where the butter meltedSee where the altars creakWhere were the days of promise?Where were the gifts divine?Where were the heroes honest?Where was the summer wine?Watch how the waves must shatterWatch how the shore dividesWatch how the nets will tatterWatch Canute and his bride
