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.
