The green path was there before us
Leading up to the top of the dale,
My lover and I enjoying the wondrous views
As we walked close to each other.
In the vale below we saw green,
Green of so many different hews
And spots of white all over
As the sheep grazed in the green sward.
Above we heard the sad cry
As a curlew flies above us.
We continue up towards the top
And once there we look all around
At the wondrous dales before us.
So much beauty there,
There for us to enjoy,
As we have done for so many years.
I look at her,
My wondrous wife,
I go to hug her with all my love
And then I awake,
Awake from my glorious dream,
Of walks now passed
That are only there in my memories,
And in my dreams.
