On the Hill

On the hill, high in the sky I sit and survey all by my side The fields, the trees, the landscape as far as I can see It's a wonderous site, stretched out in front of me The wind whistles it's quiet gentle song Listen carefully the trees are humming along Now the birds have even joined the throng The sun's yellow rays touching every thing in sight Warming the earth till dusk then night The clouds in the sky glistening silvery grey All moving gracefully as they go on their way The sheep grazing on the lush green grass Looking up as they they walk past The clear blue water rushing quickly by Going to the sea where it can lie This beautiful tranquil picture I can see In my memory it will always be.

This place sounds divine.. In no small part due to the wonderful way you've described it. In my mind I can see those views, feel the Sun's warmth and the air move, hear the birds and the trees, and the river rushing past on its way to the sea. I really do love the way you convey how beautiful nature feels..

I wrote a piece called Wisdom tree. I think it may have sat on this very spot. Beautiful imagery.
