Fields of rye


 Fields of Rye 

 by Johnclarestokes  


 In the swirling tramp of the rye 

 The boys in gray march by 

 By Regiment and rank aligned  

The grassy cadence of double time  


On home hearth's stir the hop 

 Tonight the boy's in gray make a stop 

 Pull the fiddle from the case  

Upon the bosom her finest lace 


 For tomorrow go the boys in gray 

 Far from the rye's swirling sway.
