The garden swing

\nIn the corners of the garden stand two stately chestnut trees
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 On the taller of the trees we’d hang a swing
\nIn the freshness of the evening we would sit there at our ease
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 As we’d wait to see the sights the night could bring
\nDown the path that wanders wisely past the swing on which we’d sit
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 There’s a happy dog who saunters to his spot
\nAnd the flowers in the borders whisper words that seem to fit
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 As the birds start singing songs of all they’ve got
\nAzaleas start sobbing at the beauty all around
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And roses sigh to see the scene that’s set
\nAs you and I sit staring at the flowers on the ground
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And the birds up in the trees begin to fret
\nIn the cool fresh air of evening I would kiss you on the lips
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And your lips would welcome mine and play the game
\nOn the swing beneath the nut tree I would dance my fingers tips
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 ‘Cross your skin while I begin to sigh your name
\nAfter hours of gentle swinging on the swing beneath the trees
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 We would know the time had come that we should go
\nWe would head back to the bedroom where we’d spend the night at ease
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And the swing keeps swinging softly to and fro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
