  Icy wind of night, be gone

  This is not your domain

  in the sky a bird was heard to cry

  Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds

  belied a deathly silence that lay all around

  Hear the lark and harken

  to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground

  See the splashing of the King-fisher

  flashing to the water

  And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees

  laughing as it passes through the endless summer

  making for the sea

  

  In the lazy water meadow I lay me down

  All around me, golden sunflakes settle on the ground

  basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon

  bringing sounds of yesterday in to my city room

   

  

  Hear the lark and harken

  to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground

  See the splashing of the King-fisher

  flashing to the water

  And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees

  laughing as it passes through the endless summer

  making for the sea

  

  In the lazy water meadow

  I lay me down.

  All around me,

  Golden sunflakes covering the ground,

  Basking in the sunshine of a by gone afternoon,

  Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room.

  Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox gone to ground.

  See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

  And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,

  Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.
