The distant blue mountains,

        Towering against the clear blue sky.

 

The white puffs of cloud,

        Peeping behind the mountains.

 

The lush green meadows

        Extending to eternity

 

The winding road beside

 

The tiny faceless brown nuts

        Scattered among the fields

 

The friendly stacks of hay

        And sporting green paddy

 

The river silently flowing by,

        The little sheep grazing by

 

The fluting of the shepherd beneath the trees

 

And the distant chugging of the train,

 

Do give me a sense of repose,

 

Ah! Bounteous Nature

 

Thou hast given me Contentment to my heart’s fill.
