Fly Leaves

A lyrical tapestry unfolds as the narrator moves from the crisp hush of early morning to the soft glow of evening, sketching scenes of ploughmen trudging through frost, robins in red breastplates, and sleepy schoolchildren wrestling with sums. The verses weave together observations of nature’s rhythms with playful commentary on daily rituals, inviting listeners to linger over each image as if turning a page of a living picture book. Warm humor surfaces when breakfast transforms a glum child into a buzzing bee, while the poet’s voice gently nudges the listener toward the simple pleasures of sunrise and the promise of daybreak.

The journey then drifts into a realm where folklore mingles with ordinary life: a shy water‑rat by a misty lake, mischievous mermaids combing their hair, and lovers meeting beneath a trysting tree. Through witty banter and tender reverie, the piece explores courtship, curiosity, and the quiet magic that threads through both the natural world and human hearts. Listeners will find a charming blend of pastoral charm and whimsical imagination that feels both timeless and warmly familiar.
