In Meadows Far Away

The silage harvesters working in meadows far away Cutting silage by the Town of Millstreet today Fodder for the farmers livestock for Winter months ahead When the cattle are confined to their wintering shed The young birds chirping on tree and hedgerow And in the rank rushes the male pheasant crow A beautiful evening of sunshine and breeze With a forecast high of twenty six degrees The skylark is carolling in the blue sky And the swallows in pursuit of flying insects do fly Above the old fields in the warmth of Summertime With beautiful June in her full bloom and prime And the voice of the cuckoo familiar and clear In what is a beautiful time of the year.
