Pedders, Penny.   Hope you are still hooked in after 3 years.
Here's a version sung by many, many English (& Welsh?) Male Voice Choirs. ENOCH CHORAL SEREIES 299 Arrangement by Henry Geehl? copyright MCMLIV Edwin Ashdown Ltd

WATCHING THE WHEAT

Through the mist and dawning light,
came floating o'er the meadow bright
where grew the whe-eat so yellow
Theerree at noon in sunlight bright
I watched the clouds a driiiift-iiing
And in the air the birds in flight
Wings to he-av-en lifting


All was peace and all was joy within that sunlit meadow
And happiness without alloy no care to ca-a-st a shadow
Then from out a stormy sky the angry wind did bellow
All crushed the wheat around me lay that once was fu-u-ull and yellow
O sad my heart with grief and pain in bitterness and sorrow
In fancy I saw once again that wheat so ripe and yellow
But (when the storm) when the storm clouds drifted by
And gaaaii---ly smiled the meadow
The sun whose rays so swiftly shone revived the wheat so yellow
Revived the wheat so-oo yellow


Different to Masato's but in line with the original request!


got the Welsh words too if you really insist!
