The Reaper and the Flowers

Author: Longfellow Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #81 (1879) First Line: There is a Reaper, whose name is Death Lyrics: 1 There is a Reaper, whose name is Death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flow'rs that grow between. 2 "Shall I have naught that is fair?" saith he; "Have naught but the bearded grain? Though the breath of these flow'rs is sweet to me, I'll give them all back again." 3 He gazed at the flow'rs with tearful eyes, He kissed their drooping leaves; It was for the Lord in Paradise, He bound them in his sheaves. 4 "My Lord hath need of these flow'rets gay" The Reaper said, and smil'd; "Dear tokens of the earth are they, Where he was once a child." 5 "They shall all bloom in fields of light, Transplanted by my care, And saints upon their garments white These sacred blossoms wear." 6 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. 7 Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day; 'Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flow'rs away.
