Sing a song of scarlet poppies in the corn,
Sing a song of rosy blossoms on the thorn;
Sing a song of robins chirping all the day
When the nests are empty and the skies are gray.
Sing a song of scarlet hips upon the brier,
Sing a song of dead boughs reddening in the fire:
Sing a song of red suns, frost, and tingling blood,
Sing a song of autumn flushing all the wood.
Sing a song of Scarlett when the frosts begin,
Heaping on the camp-fire store of prickly whin.
Sing a song of Marian laughing through the wood,
Sing a song of roses grown for Robin Hood.
