They walked in lush meadows Where larks rose and fell A tongue twisted youth with His wooing to tell She a coy lass would not wear a frown She bore his shy words she would not let him down.

They walked in lush meadows Their fingers entwined With joy in their hearts And romance on their minds The air caught their breath in the heat of the day And so on a buttercup carpet they lay.

They dreamt in lush meadows Their eyes said it all Their words became frozen To love they would fall The sun and the breeze kissed their beautiful skin Awaking the passion that grew from within.

They loved in lush meadows Until the sun set They joined in a tryst They would never regret The scent and the sound and the sight and the touch Gave the sweet taste of heaven they yearned for so much.

They slept in lush meadows Their bodies as one They slept in embrace Till the daylight had gone Two hearts and two minds caught up in loves spell Were joined in lush meadows where larks rose and fell.
