A house in the countryside, secluded from view
Soft light from the windows, casts a glow on the dew
A warm summer evening enshrouded in mist
The soft glow of twilight leaves a tender kiss

A rickety fence with lamplight aglow
Leads the way to some porch steps and a gravel road
The crickets are chirping, a breeze fills the night
The stars are now fading to bring soft sunlight

In the distance a meadow is draped with fresh dew
The flowers are sleeping as clouds drift in view
The fragrance of lilacs blend with the breeze
An aroma of freshness and a glow on the leaves

A gingerbread house, faded colors of pink
Victorian style with spirals and brick
Tall windows with shades, that shut out the light
And a porch swing to sit on, in the soft summer night
