Dark brown waters flows slowly along
And orange breasted robin carols his song.
Sun blazing bright in a clear blue sky,
Salmon and trout jumping for fly
On this pleasant sunday afternoon in May
Green meadows are wearing their wildflower array.
A piebald mare and her colt foal
A leggy creature with hair dark as coal
Shelter from the sun and bees
Under boughs of leafy trees.
A pair of swans as white as snow
In sunlit pool swim to and fro,
I find it hard to describe in words
The beauty of these splendid birds.
Here on clover grass I lie
Under a bright and sunny sky
By a river wide and grand
Flowing through the best of land.
