My favourite place is under the willow,
Where the wildflowers freely grow.
It’s there where silence speaks to me,
And sings a song of sweet relief
To my weary, tired body which did last,
Through much hard work, which now is past.
Here, under the willow now I lay,
And I leave my troubles of this day.
