Get ye now from the city And smell the country air Turn your face to the falling rain Taste the freshness there See the stars bright in the sky Unblemished by city smog Listen to the sounds of night In cold fresh crystal air Feel the crackle of the frost On grass instead of pave The place where the pace of life is gentle And you'll go later to the grave Watch the sun rise on a frosty morn Colors city folk rare do see Hear the blackbirds wake up call Ring out in air so cold and clean Linger here yet awhile For there is no rush to leave Leave your polluted city streets And walk the country lanes of green
