Some People Want A Wilderness

Some People Want A Wilderness

Some people want a wilderness

To take away a fenced in farm,

Just as they say we made a mess

Of nature having come to harm.

They’d call for nature to reclaim

Man’s handiwork as if it would

Improve things as before we came

To take the wild out of a wood.

But if you’ve ever lost your way

To wander in the woods about

I rather think you wouldn’t stay

But want to find a pathway out.

Whilst nature’s nicest to explore

Amidst the forest, for its trees,

Yet house or garden, even more,

To be at home in, at your ease.
