carey days


just around the corner at the rainbows end
i chanced upon a meeting with my way back when friends
there were mothers making jelly cakes and pudding angel pie
we danced out in the gardens then where molly caught my eye

the games we played as children upon the green that day
the songs we sang each morning to while the hours away
the walks across the meadows sweet where cows they grazed and chewed
the sunshine and the showers gained what did we have to lose

gone are the frolic moments the marbles true that spun
the Ferris wheel upon the green where rabbits used to run
gone are the polo water games we played upon the frome
where the swans and ducks float daily and folks there still call home

the church that rings its bells on Sunday morning gay
where cockerel;ls crowed and hardy strolled just a few miles away
the Carey rhododendron's the camp where children play
the streams upon the meadow land where flags were borne and waved

the parties on the green in days when queen was to be crowned
the purbeck hills a distant sight with yokels all around
the congregation church in little ropers lane
where children sang from hymn books proud and i went back again
