In Sweet Fields of Autumn
Author: Elizabeth Madison, b. 1883 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #52 (1993) Meter: 12.12.12.12 First Line: In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling Lyrics: 1 In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling,
the white clouds drift lonely, the wild swan is calling.
Alas for the daisies, the tall fern and grasses,
when wind-sweep and rainfall fill lowlands and passes.
2 The snows of December shall fill windy hollow;
the bleak rain trails after, the March wind shall follow.
The deer through the valleys leave print of their going;
and diamonds of sleet mark the ridges of snowing.
3 The stillness of death shall stoop over the water,
the plover sweep low where the pale streamlets falter;
but deep in the earth clod the black seed is living;
when spring sounds her bugles for rousing and giving. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Autumn; Death and Life; Nature and the Countryside; Seasons and Cycles Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG
