When I Say Good-bye by J.C. O'Hair

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (b. 1807-d. 1882)

Aftermath
1     When the summer fields are mown, 
2     When the birds are fledged and flown, 
3         And the dry leaves strew the path; 
4     With the falling of the snow, 
5     With the cawing of the crow, 
6     Once again the fields we mow 
7         And gather in the aftermath. 

8     Not the sweet, new grass with flowers 
9     Is this harvesting of ours; 
10       Not the upland clover bloom; 
11   But the rowen mixed with weeds, 
12   Tangled tufts from marsh and meads, 
13   Where the poppy drops its seeds 
14       In the silence and the gloom.
