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