A Farmer's Wife
She looked out of her window and took in all to see she watched the dogs round up the sheep and Reuben shout 'Pat, away to me' Cows in home field grazing snowdrops in the grass so green she looked out upon the dale and thought what a perfect farming scene She heard the quad bike motor up he said 'off to Pleasant Hill' as the dogs jumped on the back then said 'and that sheds to fill' The girls playing in the garden a tractor chugging down the road she thought I better make some tea that looks a heavy load She watched the gentians dancing in the light wind which had been heard birds singing in the trees and thought what an everlasting scene The horses in the stable waiting to be broken in Jingle's up to no good, she thought the funny little thing |
As she looked out of her window
she could smell the new cut hay she thought it'll be clipping next and I'll be baking everyday She heard 'now that'll do lass' and Reuben put the dogs away He said 'I'll see you tomorrow all my jobs are done today' I'll remember every single thing the cows, the sheep, the laughter the smell of hay, the dogs, the land today and forever after 'The little chapel down there' she said 'a lovely little place' as the sun started to set she had a smile upon her face she looked out of the window 'all was so very calm' she thought to end the day I think I'll read my favourite psalm She loved, lived and remembered til the end of her wonderful life all the beauty she saw from the window she was simply a farmer's wife written by Ruth Tarn for her gran’s funeral
