Bringing in the Harvest |
Bringing in the harvest |
We are gathering the grain |
Weathered by the sun |
And gently swollen by the rain |
Golden days of summer gladness |
Blood red poppies tinged with sadness |
Wheat fields gently waving |
From a wartime aerodrome |
Here’s to those who work the fields |
And bring the harvest home |
Bringing in the harvest |
All the gifts of nature’s grace |
Hand me down my brushes |
I will paint her smiling face |
Apples, pears and black-red cherries |
Strawberries and loganberries |
Hop fields reaching high |
Wherever thirsty travellers roam |
Here’s to those who graft all day |
And bring the harvest home |
Bringing in the harvest |
All the bounties of the deep |
Rising from the seabed sands |
Where shipwrecked sailors sleep |
Twisting currents test the stranger |
Gathering storms bring hidden danger |
A shift of wind can snap the teeth |
Of any mermaid’s comb |
Here’s to those who risk their lives |
And bring the harvest home |
