I Yearn For A Home By The Hills

I would love to live in a place that is far quieter where no factory chimney puffs smoke  to the sky
In a cottage by a clear flowing creek from the foothills a short walk from a mountain wood nearby
Miles from the noisy streets full of man made air pollution from where life's cares are born many miles away
Where Nature lives free of human interference i daydream of such a place every day
In fancy i hear the lark above the mountain up to the clouds to sing he has to fly
And upwards ever upwards he  keeps singing a fading musical speck in the sky
To live in such a  place would be my Earthly Utopia far from where noise and air pollution it is rife
It is not a sin for to wish for something better though few can have what they want most in life
The man and  his wife my neighbours at each other are shouting in an hour they will walk in the  park hand in hand
Forgive me if in some of the ways of people i sometimes struggle for to understand
The ways  of Nature than humans i do feel is far easier for to get to know
And my wonderment of her and her ways only does seem for to grow and grow
This is why i do yearn for a home by the hills many miles from the noisy town
Where on the streets the cars and big trucks and buses at all times of day are buzzing up and down.
