Now Scythe me down
Ammerdown
With a sweep of your blade
The axe falls in the hay
Like the battles now past
And on a cool June day
As the snails slimed the grass
We not so grim reapers reaped
What lay in our path
Reap what you sow
Don't sow what won't last
The seeds of summer days
Lie in the earth of autumn past
Now scythe me down
Like heads of grass
Seeds heads, pop
Tall storks clasp
Lie like sticks
Of warriors past
Now scythe the clover
Scythe the thistle
As time scythes the lover
And the last train's whistle
Blowing passed
Like seeds in the air
Scything go the swifts
And swallows without a care
Scything in the willows
Twisting over the pond
Scything down
The stinging nettles
Of their magic wand
Giver of the poisons darts
Scything go the ants at heart
Cropping through the leaf
Scything pincer teeth
