A GENTLE LAND
It knows no trouble this gentle land
where breezes sigh and tall trees stand
and flowing rivers splash and bubble
a gentle land that knows no trouble.
Where chimneys reach up to the sky
and friendly neighbours live nearby
with trees of oak and elm and beech
up to the sky the chimneys reach.
With summer days of gold and blue
when fields of stubble frame the view
and natures music gently plays
with gold and blue of summer days.
