Mushroom Hill's - Evening Fall

Listen to poem:
Here upon Mushroom Hill it is the evening fall Moms retired putting the younger tots to bed Dads arrive; watching the older boys play ball Eat their ploughman's lunch with crusty bread Moms retired putting the younger tots to bed Hard worked men sit about to enjoy their rest Eat their ploughman's lunch with crusty bread Shirt button’s opened to cool a sweated chest Hard worked men sit about to enjoy their rest Glasses filled by cool strong root ginger beers Shirt button’s opened to cool a sweated chest Manly chat of their day expressed with cheers Glasses filled by cool strong root ginger beers Older boys listen on intent to their Dad’s tales Manly chat of their day expressed with cheers As a hope, they can share a glass of Dad’s ale Older boys listen on intent to their Dad’s tales As dogs lounge, under the cat's watchful eyes As a hope, they can share a glass of Dad’s ale Up yonder, the corncrakes, as grate their cries As dogs lounge, under the cat's watchful eyes Dads arrive, watching the older boys play ball Up yonder, the Corncrakes as grate their cries Here upon Mushroom Hill it is the evening fall
