Endless oyer-word that the scythe
Sings to the blades of the grass belowP
Scythes that swing in the grass and clover,
Something still they say as they pass
| What is the word that, over and over,
Sings the scythe to the flowers and grass?
Hush, ah, hush, the scythes are saying,
! Hush, and heed not, and fall asleep;
| Hush, they say to the grasses swaylng;
| Hush, they sing to the clover deep
Hush,-'t's the lullaby Time is singing
Hush and heed not, and fall asleep; pass !;
| Hush, oh Hush! and the scythes are swing
ing
Over the clover, over the grass.
