Country Scenes

Oh to live in the country side In the Autumn time of year With all the different coloured leaves Which will gently disappear But soon those trees will all be bare As the winter winds do blow The leaves have fallen on the ground It's a wonder where they go As the seasons come along We see some lovely sights With all the snow in winter And the frost at night What a pretty sight to see As we get out of bed To see the hoare frost on the trees And on the spiders web As the snow lays on the ground The ice forms on the lakes You'll see the children with their sleighs And their parents with their skates So the winter passes on And springtime comes along Everything starts changing green The birds are in full song Soon we will get April showers To make the flowers grow And a little gentle breeze To blow then to and fro With lots of trees in blossom And hedgerows full of may The flowers in the garden Smell nice as you pass their way When you look up on the hills You see some lovely scenes As the sun shines on the fields With their many shades of green Then we get the Summertime When the sun shines most of the day The farmers working in the fields And the smell of new mown hay As some fields start changing colour From their greens to golden corn With combines working in the fields So the harvest home is born As I gaze out of my window And watch the birds go home to rest The seagulls fly from south to north And crows go east to west So the year comes to a close With festivities and good cheer A wish of Merry Christmas And a Prosperous New Year By Jim Clarke Woolstone
