lyrics

After half a year in chains
New life sends up a flare
That trails a scent of roses
And laughter warms the air
Yet we must observe it from
Our shady cool abode
Behind this pane of glass we may
Survey what once we sowed

So long ago, our planting now
Rewards us handsomely
Fresh runner beans and radishes
Sage, thyme and rosemary
Yet we would turn them over for
A sunlit stroll to take
Around these streets vacated
In Covid-19’s wake

The tallest yellow flowers
Now stretch up to the sun
I know the grass needs mowing
And weeding must be done
Yet all the world appears to blur
When we attempt to stand
So here we stay, our confinement much
Repeated through this land
