City streets and country roads
by Eleanor Farjeon
The city has streets-
But the country has roads.
In the country one meets
Blue carts with their loads
Of sweet-smelling hay,
And mangolds, and grain.
Oh, take me away
To the country again!
In the city one sees
Big trams rattle by,
And the breath of the chimneys
That blot out the sky.
And all down the pavements
Stiff lamp-posts one sees
But the country has hedgerows,
The country has trees.
As sweet as the sun
In the country is rain:
Oh, take me away
To the country again!
