{{Vs|1}} Pit, pat, pit, pat, there falls the rain  
{{Vs|1}} Pit, pat, pit, pat, there falls the rain
With a melancholy drip,
With a melancholy drip,
From the roof's o'erhanging lip,
From the roof's o'erhanging lip,
Back to streaming earth again;  
Back to streaming earth again;
Where the yellow leaves are lying,
Where the yellow leaves are lying,
Where the autumn flowers are dying,  
Where the autumn flowers are dying,
While winds are sighing,
While winds are sighing,
while winds are sighing
while winds are sighing
Grief-notes in a solemn strain.  
Grief-notes in a solemn strain.


{{Vs|2}} Pit, pat, pit, pat, with gentle sound,  
{{Vs|2}} Pit, pat, pit, pat, with gentle sound,
Where the grass is tall and rank,
Where the grass is tall and rank,
Where the forest glades are dank
Where the forest glades are dank
And the sky is walled around,  
And the sky is walled around,
With a fortress high and leaden,  
With a fortress high and leaden,
Which the sickly sunbeams redden;  
Which the sickly sunbeams redden;
the drift leaves deaden  
the drift leaves deaden
Music ere it reach the ground.  
Music ere it reach the ground.


{{Vs|3}} Pit, pat, pit, pat, so droops the year;  
{{Vs|3}} Pit, pat, pit, pat, so droops the year;
As its moisty hours began
As its moisty hours began
So the darkling moments ran,  
So the darkling moments ran,
And the winter hovers near.
And the winter hovers near.
Oh! thou holy summer shining!  
Oh! thou holy summer shining!
Oh! thou autumn light declining!
Oh! thou autumn light declining!
sad hearts repining  
sad hearts repining
For the sunlight held so dear!
For the sunlight held so dear!

1  Pit, pat, pit, pat, there falls the rain
With a melancholy drip,
From the roof's o'erhanging lip,
Back to streaming earth again;
Where the yellow leaves are lying,
Where the autumn flowers are dying,
While winds are sighing,
while winds are sighing
Grief-notes in a solemn strain.

2  Pit, pat, pit, pat, with gentle sound,
Where the grass is tall and rank,
Where the forest glades are dank
And the sky is walled around,
With a fortress high and leaden,
Which the sickly sunbeams redden;
the drift leaves deaden
Music ere it reach the ground.

3  Pit, pat, pit, pat, so droops the year;
As its moisty hours began
So the darkling moments ran,
And the winter hovers near.
Oh! thou holy summer shining!
Oh! thou autumn light declining!
sad hearts repining
For the sunlight held so dear!
