A Little Farm: Katharine Tynan

When a little farm I keep,

I shall tend my kine and sheep,

And my pretty lambs shall fold

I deep pastures starred with gold.

On green carpets shall they tread,

Gold and purple be their bed,

Honey clover make their food 

In a watered solitude.

'Twixt the mountains and the sea

There my little farm will be.

in a heart-remembered spot

I shall have my happy lot.

In a heart-remembered place,

Where the mountains lift their face,

I shall tend my sheep and kine,

And a thankful heart be mine.
