Cobble Hill

Farms, fields and forests lie
Under a canopy of sky;
A cow barn like a wooden church
Points up its silo tower high.

Village crossroads, railroad track,
Post office, pub and cenotaph,
Farmers' Hall of '29,
Wooden building, classic line.

On Merridale the cider works
Press apples from the orchard trees,
And in the vineyards every fall
Good grapes provide new wine for all.

I like to live in Cobble Hill
Where country quiet makes all still;
And woodsy paths are there to walk
For silent thoughts or friendly talk.
