A black velvet cow
And a red barn stood
Etched line-clear
By the bright green wood.

And the silver ribbon
Of the road wove in
Through the mist of the trees
Where the bluffs begin.

The shallow valleys
And the small hills made
A patchwork pattern
Of light and shade.

You kissed my hand,
And I quickly knew
How earth that was earth
Could be heaven, too!
