\nThere’s an island with a cottage, in the stream below the falls
\nPast a bridge of wood and granite and a maze of dry-stone walls
\nThere are larks above me singing there’s an eagle far away
\nAnd I wish that I could be there where my dreams escape to play<\/p>\n
There are boulders big as buses that are warmed by summer’s sun
\nAnd each evening there are starlings in an endless whirl of fun
\nIn the spring the blues and yellows merge as mists above the green
\nAnd my mind is apt to go there when my life is not serene<\/p>\n
Through the year the colours cycle and the weather does the same
\nIn the cottage smells of baking, and the cook who is to blame
\nI can feel the love within it where my happiness lies curled
\nOpen smiles and friendly laughter insulation from the world<\/p>\n
There’s an island, there’s a cottage, there’s a dream, sweet poetry
\nThough it isn’t in existence that’s the place I want to be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
