A Cottage In The Country Alone

Life can be a bore at times
feel the need for a change
away in the country with fresh air
maybe near a village with no stairs

There's a little place in the English Lakes
down in South Lakes, Grange-over-Sands
so quiet and peaceful, a real delight
love it there, it makes me a real fan

Sitting on the coast with lovely views
such stirring walks to keep fit
such quietness brings such peace
watch the ducks there as I sit

My cottage suits me fine
love its divine location
relax on the front veranda
read poetry for particular occasions
