Subject(s): Fields; Pastures; Meadows; Leas
Leafy with little clouds, the sky
Is shining clear and bright.
How the grass shines -- it stains the air
Green over its own height!
And I could almost kneel for joy,
To see this lovely meadow now:
Go on my knees for half a day,
To kiss a handful here and there,
While babbling nonsense on the way.
