A description of the experience
On the moor is the creeping grass - Written in the seventh century before Christ.
On the moor is the creeping grass,
Parched, thirsting for the dew,
And over it the swallows dip and pass,
The live-long summer through.
I came at sunset, fevered with the heat,
On the moor is the creeping grass,
Deep-drenched with the dew,
And over it the swallows dip and pass,
The live-long summer through.
You came at sunrise, ere the dew was dried.
And I am satisfied.
