Author's Note: This poem was inspired by the countryside just out side of Adliswil. There are no docks that I know in Adliswil, but there are docks in Zurich; that's where the line "closely to the docks" was inspired.
Bells on the hillside;
Clouds in the sky.
Bongs of clocks
Closely to the docks.
Crows flying through air
Worrin' 'bout themselves.
Bleats of sheep
On hills they do reap.
Splashing of a stream;
It dips and dives.
Through the sky
Cold, crisp leaves do fly.
Various places
Snow it does lie.
Sun streams down
On fields green and brown.
