Once I Took A Long Walk

NST

Once I took a long walk on a winding dirt road,

sirrah, sirrah,

just to see what the world did hold,

sirrah, sirrah,

I saw sweet lilies, daffodils, tulips, azalea, and posies,

sirrah, sirrah,

I thought that I had found heaven in a field of sugar roses.

I heard the sound of music in the distance,

yes I did, oh yes I did,

I simply could not forbear to pause and listen,

yes I did, oh yes I did,

an hour felt a day, a day as a whole weak,

yes it did, oh yes it did,

as I stood so still inside this heaven of which I speak.

I saw a gentle lady in the sapphire haze ahead;

oh I may of, oh I might of,

I chose to arouse from my sleep instead;

oh I may of, oh I might of,

I commenced to walk, I longed to talk;

oh I may of, oh I might of,

as that field of roses I did cross.

I soon beheld sweet glory in her eyes;

oh the sun did sigh, the mood did gasp,

My poor soul felt as the eagle flies;

the sun did sigh, the moon did gasp,

whence she walks, or whence she goes,

the sun did sigh, the moon did gasp,

I just follow blindly along, I suppose.

I say that the God Of Heaven hath smiled upon me;

Ah, he did, yes he did!

That he so blessed me with joy filled surroundings and company;

Ah, he did, yes he did!

I can walk in gracious company amid the enrapturing sound as the creek flows;

Oh yes I can, oh yes I can!

Where the spring wind shall carry me, no body knows!
