The Cattle in the Lea

CATTLE IN THE LEA

 

The summer air was heavy on the meadow by the stream,

Where cattle flick their tails - I wonder,

What do cattle dream?

They dream of neither morning nor of evening yet to come;

They dwell upon the moment, not the future yet unspun.

Upon the now, not after; of neither when nor where,

Beneath the ancient oak tree in the still of summer's air.
