We wandered through the hills one day
The road went up and up and curved around
Sunshine, smile and heaven’s blue lake
Jagged winds shake the beloved blossoms
Such pleasure to see some massive trees
Leaves for smooth and bark for rough
Leaves and bark may soon be tree enough
The world is full of joyful and great things
Like that stone that saunters in the road
Or the wind caressing or hugging wild flowers
Asters, bellflowers, pinks and stonecrops
Gentians, buttercups, lilies and violets
Bees and butterflies flutter around
Squirrels and hedgehogs on the road
Gorgeous summer and colourful autumn
Such splendour or grandeur to behold
Calmness broad upon the mountains
At evening when the cerise summit
Of sunset passes down the West
A string of stillness all over
