When the grass has  sprouted and the countryside is a soft green hue and the hills are clothed in feathery russet and gold Remember me upon a drowsy afternoon with the cicadas singing in hypnotic monotony *Remember me when the milk-laden cows are lowing for it is in such serene moments that we recall our regrets* When the countryside is mad with life and natural perfumes spice your safari with wild abundance Remember me upon a dry riverbed where once we stood upon an island happy and free *Remember me when the milk-laden cows are lowing for it is in calm and peace such as this that we mellow betimes*

When the Cows are Lowing
When the grass has  sprouted and the countryside is a soft green hue and the hills are clothed in feathery russet and gold Remember me upon a drowsy afternoon with the cicadas singing in hypnotic monotony *Remember me when the milk-laden cows are lowing for it is in such serene moments that we recall our regrets* When the countryside is mad with life and natural perfumes spice your safari with wild abundance Remember me upon a dry riverbed where once we stood upon an island happy and free *Remember me when the milk-laden cows are lowing for it is in calm and peace such as this that we mellow betimes*
