Pastoral Paradise
In fields of verdant splendour
where nature sets the seen
alone in splendid isolation
thoughts turn into dreams
where nature sets the seen
alone in splendid isolation
thoughts turn into dreams
sunlight shimmers silently
blossoms swaying to and fro
seem to whisper to each other
whilst gentle breezes blow
seem to whisper to each other
whilst gentle breezes blow
lost inside a reverie
amidst a silken golden haze
ever changing meadowlands
solitudes sweet serenade
ever changing meadowlands
solitudes sweet serenade
sublime scenic serenity
celebrating Eden's birth
a pastoral piece of paradise
recreated here on earth.
