In Moreland vale brown Autumn's tilth,

Impatient waits the reaper's scythe:

Where, scattered with a bounteous hand,

Luxuriant harvests thickly stand.

The sunlight bathes the waving grain,

That sweetly smiles to sun again;

The landscape lies in green and gold,

And purple clouds in ether rolled,

Or gentle blue now smile above

This earthly scene of Eden love.
