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 colour-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
