*
THERE IS A REAPER WHOSE NAME IS DEATH,
AND WITH HIS SICKLE KEEN,
HE REAPS THE BEARDED GRAIN AT A BREATH,
AND THE FLOWERS THAT GROW BETWEEN.

AND THE MOTHER GAVE, IN TEARS AND PAIN,
THE FLOWERS SHE MOST DID LOVE;
SHE KNEW SHE SHOULD FIND THEM ALL AGAIN
IN THE FIELDS OF LIGHT ABOVE

OH NOT IN CRUELTY, NOT IN WRATH
THE REAPER CAME THAT DAY;
'T WAS AN ANGEL VISITED THE GREEN EARTH,
AND TOOK THE FLOWERS AWAY
