## The words

I will go with my father aploughing To the  
green field by the sea, And the rooks and the  
crows and the seagulls Will come flocking  
after me; I will sing to the patient horses  
With the lark in the white of the air,  
And my father will sing the ploughsong,  
my father will sing the ploughsong That  
blesses the cleaving share.  
I will go with my father asowing To the red  
field by the sea, And the rooks and the gulls  
and the starlings Will come flocking after  
me. I will sing to the striding sowers With  
the finch on the greening sloe, And my father  
will sing the seedsong, my father will sing  
the seedsong That only the wise men know.  
I will go with my father areaping To the  
brown field by the sea, And the geese and the  
crows and the children Will come flocking  
after me.  
I will sing to the tanfaced reapers With the  
wren in the heat of the sun, And my father will  
sing the scythe song, My father will sing the  
scythe song That joys for the harvest done.
