THE SOUND OF THE CHILDREN AT PLAY IN THE TWILIGHT
SWEET MELODY REACHING THROUGH TIME
THE SINGING AND SHOUTING THE TEARS AND THE LAUGHTER
CALL MEMORIES AND MEMORIES TO MIND.
SO TOSS THE BALL HIGHER AND TUMBLE THROUGH HILLSIDE
RUN SWIFT AS A SPARROW IN FLIGHT
THE WORLD SEEMS TO REALISE, TO GET BETTER AND REAL NICE
WHENEVER THE CHILDREN RUN BY
EACH SEASHORE AND SIDEWALK, EACH HAYLOFT AND TREETOP
A KINGDOM TO CONQUER WITH PLAY
YOUTH IS A DEWDROP A JEWEL YOU CANT LOCK UP
THAT’S STOLEN AWAY BY THE DAY ...
