Beneath a tree
Beneath a tree
Dreaming days in woodlands brown Far from noise of dusty town, Lying soft beneath the trees, Sighing low with passing breeze, Hearing lark's small note of song Not very loud or great or long, But sweet above me in the sky. There lacy clouds go floating by To hide the warm old laughing sun And make the shadows dancing run Round and round the tree. | |
