Sleeping cavalier
Draped in Blenheim silk
Russet red reflecting
Autumn’s fiery cloak
Dozing, snoring softly

This life forever may it stay
Next close to you now I do pray.
Together face the gales of time
Enjoy the pleasures most sublime
Solve cares away from day to day.

Light green leaves, wineberries on brown stems grow in New Zealand's native bush
Sally drinks a glass of red wine each night laughing
Forest of tall trees awesome in their backyard
The mystery beyond an endless river chasing hot sun uphill
With blue moths and orange Californian poppies
