Harvest Moon by Girard
Harvest Moon
Verse 1
Under the light of the harvest moon,
The fields are golden, the air in tune.
With songs of joy and hands held high,
We thank the earth and the endless sky.
Chorus
Oh, dance, dance under the harvest moon,
Sing to the rhythm of the reapers’ tune.
For the earth has given her bounty free,
In the glow of the moon, we’re blessed to be.
Verse 2
The wheat stands tall, the corn is ripe,
The fruits of labor, the farmer’s type.
From dawn till dusk, the work was done,
Now we gather ’round, for the feast’s begun.
Chorus
Oh, dance, dance under the harvest moon,
Sing to the rhythm of the reapers’ tune.
For the earth has given her bounty free,
In the glow of the moon, we’re blessed to be.
Bridge
The cider’s sweet, the bread is warm,
The fire crackles in the village barn.
With every laugh and every cheer,
We give our thanks for another year.
Verse 3
The children play in the autumn leaves,
While elders rest by the glowing eaves.
The harvest’s in, the work is through,
Now we celebrate, ‘neath the sky so blue.
Chorus
Oh, dance, dance under the harvest moon,
Sing to the rhythm of the reapers’ tune.
For the earth has given her bounty free,
In the glow of the moon, we’re blessed to be.
Outro
So raise your voice, let the music play,
For the harvest moon shines bright today.
With grateful hearts, we share our cheer,
And bless the earth for the coming year.
