Green Fields of Clover

Hello again,

Kind friend Dale Lincoln returns with a neat tale of looking ahead--ever looking ahead--with a nod back to former days!


"Many Senior Citizens remember the words and tune to the famous World War II song:
WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

A “SNOWBIRD” DAYDREAMING IN FLORIDA
By: Dale C. Lincoln

The morning January 10, 2010 I was in my heated home in Zephyrhills, Florida—wearing winter pajamas and a hooded sweat shirt. Cold weather for Florida had been around for more than a week. The previous day, on a trip to Walmart, snow flakes were in the air.

At 7:30 am the Temperature outside our single wide mobile unit was 27 Degrees F.

If I had a guitar and could sing: ---These are the words I would sing to Elsie, She is dressed in her “inside the house” winter attire,---and eating breakfast. It might make her happy to think of a warm August Day in Maine.

THE GREEN FIELDS OF CLOVER (IN PERRY, MAINE)
To the tune of : The White Cliffs Of Dover

There'll be robins over
the green fields of clover
Next August just you wait and see.

There'll be robins over
the green fields of clover,
Next August Just you wait and see.

The black flies will be gone,---
blueberries will ripen again,
and we'll walk to the beach---
behind our home again.

There'll be robins over
the green fields of clover
Next August just you wait and see.

There'll be robins over
the green fields of clover
Next August just you wait and see."
