I lean my cycle against the shed And make for the door lowering my head
Driving sleet and rain and wind. Bites my face as I let myself in.
0utside the trees like ghostly shapes. Are tossing and heaving right across space. I see the master approaching now. Ducking and weaving to avoid a tree bough.
It,s pretty hopeless today he says. Follow me without delay.
We walk to the big house, I cannot win. He pushes open the big door and takes me in. I,ve got you a painting job, he says. These gentry folk they have strange ways.
Well I,m a gardener rain or shine I pray each night for the weather to be kind.
