It was a miserable grey day
With drizzle falling on us;
We were well covered
And thought “What the hell!”
So we walked up the moor side
As we had planned.
Half way up we came into the cloud
That was causing the rain to fall.
We continued our upward path
Through this damp mist
And suddenly the sun shone on us,
The rain was below us,
And about us was the glory of nature,
As the moor stretched before our eyes.
The earth below was hidden by cloud
On which we appeared to be walking,
At peace and in love with our world.
