Wind In The Willows


As I went
a walking
One morning in spring
I met with some travelers
On an old country lane
One was
an old man
The second
a maid
The third was a young boy
who smiled as he said:

"With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun
to warm us
wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes
and a jug
of red wine
To share on our journey
with all..
of mankind."

So I asked them to tell me
their name and their race
So I could remember
each smile on their face
"Our names, they mean nothing...
They change throughout time
So come sit beside us and share in our wine"

"With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun
to warm us
wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes
and a jug
of red wine
To share on our journey
with all..
of mankind."

So I sat down beside them
With flowers all around
We ate from a mantle
Spread out on the ground
They told me of prophets
And peoples and kings
And all of the one God
that knows everything

"We're traveling to Glaston
Over England's green lanes
To hear of men's troubles
To hear of their pains
We travel the wide world
Over land and the sea
To tell all the people
How they can be free..."

"With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun
to warm us
wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes
and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey
with all..
of mankind."

So sadly I left them
On that old country lane
For I knew that I'd never
see them again

One was an old man
The second a maid
The third was a young boy who smiled as he said:

"With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun
to warm us
wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes
and a jug
of red wine
To share on our journey
with all..
of mankind."
