Great big rolling hills

Valleys as far as the eye can see

Sculpted and crafted by unseen hands

 

Sweeping plains and grassy fields

Vast blue skies and wisps of white

I pondered and wandered amongst the gentians

 

Swaying and bowing in the wind

Endless sea of blue all fluttering in the breeze

Three and twenty birds did I see

 

And the stroke of the gales against my cheek

Flinging my arms out to the sky

Dancing and singing all with pride

 

But oh! Were the hills and valleys a sight!

What wealth they had given me

How little of the world we see!
