Sentiment Here in My Soul

the blue up above, the beautiful sky
right beside this mulberry bush a fluttering red admiral butterfly
I can't say what it is, but all these things inspire me
and put sentiment here in my soul

the rain on the ground, the patches of mud
and inside the grassy field a herd of Friesian cows chewing the cud
I can't say what it is, but all these things inspire me
and put sentiment here in my soul

fluffy clouds are hovering above the grazing cattle going moo
now and then they separate to let the peeping sun say peekaboo
it's perfectly true

the wind in my face, the warmth of the sun
double-spotted ladybirds and webs a teensy-weensy spider spun
I can't say what it is, but all these things inspire me
and put sentiment here in my soul

buttercups and dandelions and clover leaves are wobbling in the breeze
chaffinches and nightingales are resting in the tops of swaying trees
with bumbling bees

the scent of a flower, the texture of wood
everything a miracle of nature, and it's free and it is good
I can't say what it is, but all these things inspire me
and put sentiment here in my
sentiment here in my soul
