Give me a catbird in a tree
Showering the air with melody;
flock of geese; a hissing gander
Near where willowed streams meander;
Droning bee in fields of cover;
Fragrant breezes whispering over.
Give a faithful canine friend.
An ally till my journey's end;
The sight of placid, large-eyed cows
And upland gestures where they browse.
Far from the city's noise and strife,
Give me the simple country life.
