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.
