There Is A June When Corn Is Cut

Here is the poem:

There is a June when Corn is cut
And Roses in the Seed –
A Summer briefer than the first
But tenderer indeed

As should a Face supposed the Grave's
Emerge a single Noon
In the Vermilion that it wore
Affect us, and return –

Two Seasons, it is said, exist –
The Summer of the Just,
And this of Ours, diversified
With Prospect, and with Frost –

May not our Second with its First
So infinite compare
That We but recollect the one
The other to prefer?

Here are the lyrics I created for the song based on the poem:

There is a June when corn is cut
And Roses in the Seed –
A Summer briefer than the first
But tenderer indeed.
 
          Two seasons, it is said, exist –
          The Summer of the Just,
          And this of Ours, diversified
          With Prospect, and with Frost –
 
          May not our Second with its First
          So infinite compare
          That We be recollect the one
          The other to prefer?
 
As should a Face supposed the Grave’s
Emerge a single Noon
In the Vermillion that it wore
Affect us, and return –
 
          Two seasons, it is said, exist –
          The Summer of the Just,
          And this of Ours, diversified
          With Prospect, and with Frost –
 
          May not our Second with its First
          So infinite compare
          That We be recollect the one
          The other to prefer?

The music for the song is below.  Currently it's written in the style of a Fake Book with just the chords given -- no bass line.  One of these days I'll write in a bass line and update this music.

Below is a video where I play the song on the piano -- BUT -- I don't sing, so the video is only of the music.  However, you can follow along with the words on the sheets of music above.
