Lyrics

There was never a sound beside the wood but one
 And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground
 What was it, it whispered?
 I know not well myself
 Perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun
 Something, perhaps, about the lack of sound
 And that was why it whispered and did not speak
 It was no dream of the gift of idle hours
 Or easy gold at the hand of fay or elf
 Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
 To the earnest love that laid the Swale in rows
 Not without feeble-pointed spikes of flowers
 Pale archaises and scared a bright green snake
 The fact is the sweetest dream that labour knows
 My long scythe whispered and left the hay to make
