lyrics

Who’ll work the fields
Now the rye it is standing?

Who’ll mill the grain
Now the stone is not grinding?

Who’ll tend the farm
While there’s no-one for hiring?

Who’ll read the psalm
While the bell it is tolling?

Who’ll take the rent
Now the reeve he is absent?

What’s to collect
Now the dwellings are vacant?

Down falls the wheel
Where the river is flowing

Wind tolls the bell
And the pages are blowing
