WALES

Sparkling blue seas
And fluffy white clouds
High up on a hill
Surrounded by trees
A mighty magician once stood.
Merlin was his name
And his home was the wood.
It was a wild wood
And dangerous for his foe.
But for Merlin it was safe,
He knew where to go.
He is still there today
You just have to call him.
Show him respect
And deep love
For his trees
And he will transport you
Through the mists of time
To his famous stone circle
Where you may stand with him
And cast a spell
That with Mother Earth
All may be well.
