The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Reap what you sow
When the hallowed harvest Moon
Hangs in the sky
The reaper will be coming by and by
Young and old, we must prepare for
The gathering
Come equinox he'll visit us again
And do you hear the bells begin to chime?
They're ringing out for you, it's harvest time
For you cannot hide
No matter how you try
Child, you cannot hide from the reaper's scythe
Yeah, the reaper's scythe
Set the watchfires a-burning
This kindling night
For the psychopomp has taken flight
By the corn rigs they'll see him
Send up the crows
Welcome, he who walks behind the rows
When September Sun no longer shines
Hooden, on a pale mare he'll ride
And you cannot hide
No matter how you try
Child, you cannot hide from the reaper's scythe
See the pale rider
He's sharpening his blade
See the pale rider
Now he's calling out your name
Tonight he stalks the fallow
Can you feel his gaze?
Hollow eyes staring through time and space
Now hear us as we gather 'round the shrine
We're singing out "john barleycorn must die"
And you cannot hide
No matter how you try
Child, you cannot hide from the reaper's scythe
