Harvest Time
Blowing and sifting
the wheat from the chaff,
forged in Truth's furnace,
a sickle sways.
The weeds burn, the wheat remains.
Fields are awaiting,
labourers rise,
from sunrise to First moon,
the grain of ingathering,
harvest time ends soon.
Spirit's wind blowing
throughout the land,
stirring the sleeping-
join-in before noon.
Fields are awaiting,
scythe and blade sway,
harvest time ends today.
