The air is so fresh with the smell of the sea
And the grass so smooth and green,
An air of tranquility abounds
In this wonderfully peaceful scene:
Along the bank the daffodils
Sway gently in the breeze
Like a splash of golden sunshine
Nestling beneath the trees:
The little path winds round and down,
First narrow, and then wide,
With shrubs and bushes here and there,
Wherein the wild birds hide:
Below the cliff the calm sea laps
In a rhythmic peaceful way
Tossing itself on pebbles and sand,
Then gently moving away.
As the path winds down to the shore below
It meanders through a small wood,
Where grow wild flowers underfoot
And robins wait for food:
Far into the distance there's only the sea
And it stretches to meet the blue sky,
Just like a seagull whirling overhead,
Or a lonely ship sailing by.
This is a spot to refresh the soul,
To meditate on life's spiritual things,
To drink in the beauty and breathe the sea air
And much inspiration it brings.
