The wild birds of song they are singing today
The blackbirds, robins, finches and thrushes on song
The creatures that to Mother Nature belong
The memories to me remain a source of joy
Of where I grew to love Nature when I was a boy
Of Claramore wood on my climb to Clara hill
The memories remain and for as long as I live with me will
Above the slopes of Clara a musical speck in the sky
The little brown lark sung as he did fly
Upwards until out of sight he did disappear
Though above the silent mountain his song I did hear
Perhaps I will never see Clara again
But fond memories of what was today I retain
Mental images that have not aged over decades of time
That in long gone Seasons inspired me to rhyme
Going way back the years before time became my foe
I only have memories of the long ago
But the now is all that does matter as the wise one does say
And high Claramore wood from me is far away.
