Though it's way past harvest time
Harmony recording sung by Glasgow Madrigirls: [[Media:bringinginthesheaves.mp3]]
Some still toil and work and wagons rattle
Corn still stands in rank and line
And defies us all
We can see it in our past
Blood will out and joy will battle
Though we work in different ways we're bringing in the sheaves


(Chorus) - Bringing in the sheaves, we're bringing in the sheaves. Though we work in different ways we're bringing in the sheaves

Though we started from the land
<song>
Some of us do roam abroad
Though it's way past harvest time
The hand upon the gliding plough is not for everyone
Some still toil and work and wagons rattle
Changing seasons help us see
Corn still stands in rank and line
Those who hear a different drummer
And defies us all
Though not in one harmony, we're bringing in the sheaves
We can see it in our past
Blood will out and joy will battle
Though we work in different ways we're bringing in the sheaves


(Chorus)
(Chorus) - Bringing in the sheaves, we're bringing in the sheaves.
Though we work in different ways we're bringing in the sheaves


What lay dormant in the soil
Though we started from the land
Is wakened by the kiss of summer
Some of us do roam abroad
So the fruits of yesteryear become the years new corn
The hand upon the gliding plough is not for everyone
Every stem has at its core, part of those who went before
Changing seasons help us see
In turn they will be kept in store by bringing the sheaves
Those who hear a different drummer
Though not in one harmony, we're bringing in the sheaves


(Chorus)
(Chorus)


In conclusion bear in mind
What lay dormant in the soil
What example has begun
Is wakened by the kiss of summer
What today you do in kind has power for everyone
So the fruits of yesteryear become the years new corn
True strong aims will pass along
Every stem has at its core, part of those who went before
To your daughters and your sons
In turn they will be kept in store by bringing the sheaves
So may they in years to come be bringing in the sheaves


(Chorus)
(Chorus)
 
In conclusion bear in mind
What example has begun
What today you do in kind has power for everyone
True strong aims will pass along
To your daughters and your sons
So may they in years to come be bringing in the sheaves
 
(Chorus)
</song>

Though it's way past harvest time Some still toil and work and wagons rattle Corn still stands in rank and line And defies us all We can see it in our past Blood will out and joy will battle Though we work in different ways we're bringing in the sheaves

(Chorus) - Bringing in the sheaves, we're bringing in the sheaves. Though we work in different ways we're bringing in the sheaves

Though we started from the land Some of us do roam abroad The hand upon the gliding plough is not for everyone Changing seasons help us see Those who hear a different drummer Though not in one harmony, we're bringing in the sheaves

(Chorus)

What lay dormant in the soil Is wakened by the kiss of summer So the fruits of yesteryear become the years new corn Every stem has at its core, part of those who went before In turn they will be kept in store by bringing the sheaves

(Chorus)

In conclusion bear in mind What example has begun What today you do in kind has power for everyone True strong aims will pass along To your daughters and your sons So may they in years to come be bringing in the sheaves

(Chorus)
