Golden Stone
Close by a lonely railway bridge
A house stands all alone
Glowing in the sunlight
Its walls of golden stone
Beyond a slumb’ring hamlet
Where green woodpecker calls
Hidden in the woodland
As autumn leaves quiet fall
Clouds blown in from westwards
Bring the short, sharp showers
A pause amidst the sunshine
Of soft September hours.
Winding lanes show vistas
Of valleys set below
Within the rolling Cotswolds
Where life remains still slow.
