The hillside was a patchwork quilt 
Neatly stitched with tidy hedge 
And crumbling grey stone wall 
The trees were bare, but Spring was near 
To conjure up its endless strings 
Of green magic handkerchieves 

Could you only see what I've seen 
You would surely know what I mean 
I think I must have caught a glimpse of heaven. 

A string of diamonds formed a stream 
That tumbled down the daunting cliff 
To sparkle bright on the beach. 

New born lambs that sweetly played 
Speckled eggs all newly laid 
But for you I would have stayed 
I think I must have caught a glimpse of heaven
