Cyprus Oak Ash and Redwood
Hall begotten of all that is good
Regal in realms of black and white
Lights aglow in the night
Of woods and forests deep in fern
And woodland walks any feet would yearn
The delight of honey from bees home grown
To be sold in a shop all of their own
The true beauty of Mother Earth
Unfolds here in this her birth
Two sisters bright and gay
Knew natures loving way
Giving pure and simply the delight and treat
Of a flotsam of daffodils Spring will greet
Green long groomed hedges and lawns
A sight to behold from days of yore
When two sisters in their loving way
Created gardens of ecstatic display
For generations to come and enjoy
Life’s essence to breath in and employ
Roses and shrubs the scented day
No storm or snow or winter’s gaze
Has taken away two sisters age
Created many years ago
I am so grateful “Don’t you know!”
For my feet to tread on paths in fervent woods
To drink in and savour in all glory and good
Green the colour of Mother Nature’s gift
Her glistening touch any soul would lift
Blossoms of pinks purples and yellows
Bless and comfort all good fellows
Human and furry and in flight
Mother Nature is a glorious sight!
