Lady of the Seasons' Laughter
In Sweet Fields of Autumn
Author: Elizabeth Madison, b. 1883 Hymnal: SLT1993 #52 (1993) Meter: 12.12.12.12 First Line: In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling Lyrics: 1 In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling,
the white clouds drift lonely, the wild swan is calling.
Alas for the daisies, the tall fern and grasses,
when wind-sweep and rainfall fill lowlands and passes.
2 The snows of December shall fill windy hollow;
the bleak rain trails after, the March wind shall follow.
The deer through the valleys leave print of their going;
and diamonds of sleet mark the ridges of snowing.
3 The stillness of death shall stoop over the water,
the plover sweep low where the pale streamlets falter;
but deep in the earth clod the black seed is living;
when spring sounds her bugles for rousing and giving. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Autumn; Death and Life; Nature and the Countryside; Seasons and Cycles Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG

I Walk the Unfrequented Road
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: SLT1993 #53 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I walk the unfrequented road
with open eye and ear;
I watch afield the farmer load
the bounty of the year.
2 I filch the fruit of no one’s toil —
no trespasser am I —
and yet I reap from every soil
and from the boundless sky.
3 I gather where I did not sow,
and bend the mystic sheaf,
the amber air, the river’s flow,
the rustle of the leaf.
4 A beauty springtime never knew
haunts all the quiet ways,
and sweeter shines the landscape through
its veil of autumn haze.
5 I face the hills, the streams, the wood,
and feel with all akin;
my heart expands; their fortitude
and peace and joy flow in. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Autumn; Gratitude; Nature and the Countryside Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION

All Beautiful the March of Days
Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile, 1878-1939 Hymnal: SLT1993 #57 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days,
as seasons come and go;
the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought
the crystal of the snow;
hath sent the hoary frost of heaven,
the flowing waters sealed,
and laid a silent loveliness
on hill and wood and field.
2 O’er white expanses, sparkling clear
the radiant morns unfold;
the solemn splendors of the night
burn brighter through the cold;
life mounts in every throbbing vein,
love deepens round the hearth,
and clearer sounds the angel-hymn,
"Good will and peace on earth."
3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law
the year in beauty flows,
thy self the vision passing by
in crystal and in rose.
Day unto day doth utter speech,
and night to night proclaim,
in ever changing words of light
the wonder of thy name. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Winter; Beauty; Pagan; Seasons and Cycles; Solstice and Equinox Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Ring Out, Wild Bells
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: SLT1993 #58 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ring out, wild bells, to the wild, wild sky Lyrics: 1 Ring out, wild bells, to the wild, wild sky,
the flying cloud, the frosty light:
the year is dying in the night;
ring out, wild bells, and let it die.
2 Ring out the old, ring in the new,
ring, happy bells, across the snow:
the year is going, let it go;
ring out the false, ring in the true.
3 Ring out the grief that saps the mind
for those that here we see no more;
ring out the feud of rich and poor;
ring in redress to humankind.
4 Ring out false pride in place and blood,
the civic slander and the spite;
ring in the love of truth and right;
ring in the common love of good.

Almond Trees, Renewed in Bloom
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: SLT1993 #59 (1993) Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Lyrics: 1 Almond trees, renewed in bloom,
do they not proclaim
life returning year by year,
love that will remain?
Almond blossom, sign of life
in the face of pain,
raises hope in people’s hearts:
spring has come again.
2 War destroys a thousandfold,
hatred scars the earth,
but the day when almonds bloom
is a time of birth.
Friends, give thanks for almond blooms
swaying in the wind:
token that the gift of life
triumphs in the end. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Spring; Hiroshima Day; Hope; Nature and the Countryside Languages: English Tune Title: CON X'OM LANG

In Time of Silver Rain
Author: Langston Hughes, 1902-1967 Hymnal: SLT1993 #60 (1993) Meter: 6.8.10.10.6 Lyrics: 1 In time of silver rain
the earth puts forth new life again,
green grasses grow and flowers lift their heads,
and over all the plain the wonder spreads
of life, of life, of life!
2 In time of silver rain
the butterflies lift silken wings,
and trees put forth new leaves to sing in joy
beneath the sky in time of silver rain,
when spring and life are new.
