Virgin paths overgrown with grass
Gates closed with Gordian knots
Curious cows following us cross fields
Affluent towns with old thatched roofs.

A terrace in Brill outside a pub
A view of a windmill and two counties
The horizon slowly vanishing in mist 
An afternoon's walk through the rain

Although we walked along some busy roads
And the footpaths there were overgrown
In a land of fields and limpid brooks
A skyline indistinct and far away
The beauty of our country from on high
That cruel day in May was a delight.
