Whisper of the Willow

The sound of the tractor pulling the plow,
covers the laughter of the crow on the bough.
While the wind in the willow down by the brook
Whispers a love song to a young cook.

The Red Tailed Hawk circles the sky
looks for rodents that might pass by.
While the wind in the willow down by the brook
Whispers a love song to a young cook.

The old hen of red cackles her cry,
as her chicks quick scatter from the Hawk's eye.
while the wind in the willow down by the brook
Whispers a love song to a young cook.

The Sheep in the meadow nibble and nod,
as others lay resting on the cool sod.
while the wind in the willow down by the brook
Whispers a love song to a young cook.

Dusty and browned by the mid-summer's sun,
a handsome young man looks for work to be done.
While the wind in the willow down by the brook
whispers a love song to a young cook.

She watched in the morning as to the barn he did go,
He would milk, he would plow, he would work with a hoe.
While the wind in the willow down by the brook,
Whispers a love song to a young cook.

They labored together making a home,
from which neither would travel or long to roam.
While the wind in the willow down by the brook,
Whispered their love songs now made a book.
