The Cowslip and the Primrose
How beautiful and pleasant is nature at this very moment it uplifts hearts,
Green is the grass dotted with young flowers in golden rods of sunlight,
The cuckoo has returned from far away and she shouts her gladness once more,
A nightingale pours hymns with love joy from every bough so sweet so lovely.
The cowslip and the primrose bathe in soft dewy meadows they bend in the wind,
The scent of their presence rises to heaven and heaven smiles down upon them,
The country side is a paradise of love youth and beauty it takes breath away,
If a child was permitted to break from parents she would run and jump with joy.
To breathe fresh pure air to revel in the feeling of all the delicious greenness,
Let work stop for a day calm the brain and heart and just lay down in soft clover,
The otter can bask so can the sedge snake and the toad, why can't can man bask too,
Such a day must come for all families or nature will waste its time go elsewhere.
