Around her green rows of trees Breezy breaths and buzzing bees Her crystal face mirrors serenity A strip of pond far from city! From autumn clouds sky pours its mirth On this small village a mound of earth Here men of soil hands smudged with clay Merrily live in huts of hay! When they smile it’s smile sure Tooth bared from feelings pure Truth they know learned no deceit With open arms they warmly greet! What they speak is unrehearsed Flow from heart no grudge nursed They don’t mince words haven’t the skill Speak only that they truly feel! This autumn day I’m their guest By the almond pond in their thatched nest To submerge deep in placidity And forget awhile rush of city!
