Village Beneath
Village Beneath
From the window of the train.
Past the station with the wreath.
Down the snow covered lane.
The village sits beneath.
Past the shops with snow on roofs.
A horse gallops pulling a sled.
Leaving tracks of horses hoofs.
Beside lamp poles wrapped in red.
In the front of the general store.
A girl sits on a bale.
She walks to the door.
And inside gets he mail.
Below the ringing church bell.
A man drags a green tree.
Turns at the corner well.
To the house where it will be.
Three boys over yond.
Along the slope of the bank.
Slide in silence to the pond.
On a smoothed curved plank.
On the turned over boat.
A dog lays and waits.
While a boy on a coat
Puts on his skates.
The train pulls out of town
Past a Christmas lit pine.
Around the corner and down
Leaving the village behind
