Tune: Lasst uns Erfreuen
('All creatures of our God and King')
***********
Take country lanes, with nature share
And of the land, creatures, take care
Alleluia, Alleluia!
What may you see today, old, new?
It be of God's creation true
Panoramic sights we may view
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Horses in fields take food and rest
Some drink at river, they are blest
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Then scurry back to join the clan
Finding there comfort as they can
Their stables overseen by man
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
River flows gentle, peace remains
Our souls true benefits each gains
Alleluia, alleluia!
Time to stroll by, ducks, swans may see
And geese, all swim elegantly
Here their habitation daily
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Exploring tracks and paths and lanes
New routes and journeys are our gains
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Or old familiar ways we go
Keeping to well-worn walks we know
They all glories of nature show
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8.8. metre with Alleluias. I saw these things recently, including a swan with 10 cygnets! One walk involves crossing a bridge at a Ford, then walking by the corner of a field (permitted path) with horses often in it - bit scary? Another walk has a permitted path through a cows field, not fenced off.

Walking with nature is so wonderful.
I wasn't offered tea and cake!!

Thanks Gold. It's me being quaint. On Worzel Gummidge a cup of tea and slice of cake seemed to solve everything! Unsub was having bad-hair days - fictional ones, thankfully.
