THE RICH FED GROUSE THRIVE ON THE MOOR

 

The rich fed grouse thrive on the moor

The golden hare lives on the valley floor

In the meadow you’ll find rabbits there

While the fox sits patiently in his lair

WHEN THE WIND IS IN THE SOUTH

 

When the wind is in the south,

And the sun is in the sky

This is the time I like most well

And my spirits are very high

BUSY BEE

 

Under a sky of periwinkle blue

The honeybee sips the morning dew

Then she spends the daylight hours

Humming amidst the meadow flowers

THROUGH GREEN-WOODS AND MEADOWS

 

Through green-woods and meadows

The happy travellers wend

Along the meandering river

Until they reached journeys end

IN THE WATER MEADOW

 

In the water meadow

The Mayflies pirouette

On gossamer wings.

A pair performs a duet

As they dance their

Ephemeral vignette

AMIDST THE REEDS AND RUSHES

 

Amidst the reeds and rushes

Dragonflies hover by the river still

Where the weeping willows

Drooping branches spill

AUTUMN LEAVES ARE GATHERING

 

Autumn leaves are gathering

Golden in the hedgerows

As the sun sits lower in the sky

Shadows lengthen across the landscape

Heralding winters approach
