1. Fill in the blanks with one of the following words:  

              wind, forget, fields, remember, sky, walk, sun.


You’ll  remember me when the west wind moves

Upon the fields of barley

You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky

As we walk in fields of gold 


2. Choose one word from each pair and fill in the blanks: 

            so/though,          a time/a while,           among/upon.

So she took her love 

For to gaze a while

Upon the fields of barley                                                         


3. Fill in the blanks with one of these verbs:

                             be, fell, stay, came.

In his arms she fell

As her hair came down

Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me?

Will you be my love?

Among the fields of barley



4. Choose the correct word from each pair: 

      sun/son,         sky/ski,         lay/lie,        gold/barley,         east/west,       

      upon/among,         fill/feel,          rise/raise,         hiss/kiss,         upon/among.

We’ll  forget the sun 

In his jealous sky

As we lie in fields of gold 

See the west wind move like a lover saw

Upon the fields of barley

Feel her body rise when you kiss  her mouth

Among the fields of gold


5. Put the lines in the correct order:

( 3) I swear in the days still left

( 1) I never made promises lightly

( 4) we’ll  walk in fields of gold (2) 

( 2) and there have been some that I’ve broken                



6. Correct the mistakes:

Many years have gone         passed

Since summer those days       since those summer days

along the fields of barley         among 

See the children come            run

the sun go down                 goes  

along the fields of gold         among 


7. Correct the mistakes.

I’ll remember him when the west wind moves        you’ll remember me

Along the fields of barley                    upon the fields of barley

I can tell the sun in her jealous sky                you can tell the sun in his jealous sky   

When they walked in fields of gold.(3)            when we walked in fields of gold
