IN a meadow by the roadway
Corn is growing deep:
Comes a maiden to the meadow
Yellow corn to reap.
Hands are tired and feet are aching
For that girl so fair....
My beloved, my bright falcon,
Where are you, oh where?
Come to me, my heart's desire,
Oh come back again.
See, the golden ears of wheat
Ripen on the plain.
Warm the corn beneath the sunshine,
Bright sky overhead:
For your sake, my little falcon,
Many tears are shed.
