A hero's tale

Where days were long and grass was green
In seasons of youthful desire
Sailing over seas of aquamarine
Western suns drown in fire
Over mountain, forest, river
I wander careless and bold
Thinking not of the days to come
When I'd wake up slow and old
Oh, how the silent Summer noon
Warms dusty memories
In an orchard, among my dreams
Beneath shadeful tree
So visit me, oh, little ones
To hear my stories and rhymes
A wandering hero's tales
And long gone joyful times
