They mowed the meadow down below
Our house the other day
But left a grassy island where
We can still go and play.
Right in the middle of the field
It rises green and high;
Bees swing on the clover there,
And butterflies blow by.
It seems a very far-off place
With oceans all around:
The only thing to see is sky,
And wind, the only sound.
