Cavan Lake Alberta

Listen to poem:
Cavan Lake, Alberta, that’s where I’m bound to be You can’t beat the splendor of that wild serenity Trees are all around me, there’s a robin at my door And Cavan Lake is just outside, a hundred steps or more Everywhere I look I see the big Alberta sky And there comes Laura Lee with that sparkle in her eye More lovely than a sunrise on the lake outside my door Or the harvest moon reflecting off the ripples on the shore Cavan Lake is calling me, that’s where I’m bound to be In the big skies of Alberta, neath a rustling shady tree Where the rainbow reaches shore to shore, and the big sky stretches wide And the coyotes serenade the moon on the shores of the other side I can see the lake from here, the water’s calm today Gonna walk down to the shore and chase my blues away If skipping stones won’t do it and the birds all fly away I’ll have to take them back again and try another day http://mike-martin.net/Cavan Lake
