Memories For To Retain

Financially wise i have never done well And of adventures i do not have many stories to tell But i have heard the brown lark singing in the gray sky As i eat whortleberries on Clara on an evening in July And the scenery marvellous from the higher ground Of the green countryside for many miles around Such beauty i visualize again and again And a memory a whole lifetime for to retain A beauty i have loved since i was a young boy The beauty of Nature for all to enjoy The great beauty one does not pay for to see It is all around you and it is all around me Any stories of material success i do not have to relate But the beauty in Nature in rhyme i can celebrate And the memories of such beauty i do retain To visit again and again and again.
