Marigold / Harvest Home |
| When the marigold no longer blooms |
| When summer sun is turned to gloom |
| See the forecast winter snow |
| See the evergreen that lonely grows |
| Move close to the fireplace |
| Neglect the garden |
| See the ground harden |
| At a ghostly place |
| The golden summer sun is silver now |
| The fruit has fallen from the bough |
| The season moves to chestnut time |
| Toffee apples, treacle and mulled wine |
| Quilts and furs and woolens gay |
| You wrap around you |
| But the cold confounds you |
| On an autumn day |
| Stout and strong the walls of home and hearth |
| Curtains drawn against the draft |
| The rake has reaped, the blade has mown |
| Nights draw in to call the harvest home |
| The quiet of a heart at rest |
| In peace abounded |
| By love surrounded |
| Here the home is blest |
| Harvest home |
| Come, ye thankful people, come |
| Raise the song of harvest home |
| All be safely gathered in |
| Ere the winter storms begin |
| God, our maker doth provide |
| For our wants to be supplied |
| Come, ye thankful people, come |
| Raise the song of harvest home |
