|
Let me walk a while alone |
|
Among the sacred rocks and stones |
|
Let me look in vain belief |
|
Upon the beauty of each leaf |
|
There is green in every blade |
|
The tree tops lean providing shade |
|
Maypoles spin in happy sound |
|
All nature's strength around |
|
And there's a horse that feels no pain |
|
Its iron strength to take the strain |
|
Children rock it to and fro |
|
And gaily drink its color glow |
|
Above, the sky, devoid of cloud |
|
Thinks not to cast a thunder shroud |
|
Upon this place so full of joy |
|
A field of gold of loves employ |
|
So, why my heavy heart, you say? |
|
When tears would stain, the sights so gay |
|
My brother's dreams, once here did soar |
|
Until he died at the hand of needless war |
