Where were the days of promise
Just as you sow you shall reap
[Incomprehensible]
Who heard the winter calling
Watch Canute and his bride
See where the bowls are empty
Watch how the waves must shatter
Just as you sow you shall reap
Where were the heroes honest
Just as you sow you shall reap
Where was the summer wine
Just as you sow you shall reap
How many thoughts were doubted
Where were the gifts divine
Just as you sow you shall reap
Watch how the shore divides
Who wore the tailor's thread
How many sheaves were counted
How did the landlord dine
See where the altars creak
Who left the future wasting
Watch how the nets will tatter
Who led the mayday feasting
See where the butter melted
Who saw the harvest home
Just as you sow you shall reap
See where the arms reach
How did the carriage shine
Who watched the families go
