He rested under the old oaktree

His face pale and his skin gritty

What was he doing here in the city?

Where the skyline was grey and smokey.

He had left his town and family

In order to earn some extra money

Why was there no peace in his heart?

Why did distance keep them apart?

He smoked his old pipe without a sound

And looked at the acorns on the ground

He stretched his feet out on the grass

And longed to be at home ...... alas!

At the river-side in the country

Amidst the sands and the trees

A tot with a mop of golden curls

In a pretty white dress stood a girl.

"Mother," said she, "the last boat's in",

As they walked towards the wayside inn.

The lady knew her daughter missed him

But she couldn't give in to her little one's whim.

"Don't fret darling," she said, "he'll come surely

Though not yet my sweet for it is too early .....

He'll be here for Christmas to see his little pearl.

From the city he'll bring you presents, my girl.

"It's not presents I want....it's just Daddy."

Said the little one a bit too sadly.

"Why does he have to go so far away?

Why can't he be with us everyday?"

The lady thought if only it were that easy

To live on love and fresh air and no money

She too longed to see her love once more

She too wanted him here like it was before...........

It indeed was a beautiful scene

A little cottage amongst the green

A long walk it was through the meadow

So he rested under a tree's shadow.

Weren't his favourite girls here somewhere ?

His seeking eyes continued to stare

He felt all his chains had broken free

As he had returned home to his family

The door opened, a woman appeared

A little girl stood stood very near

He smiled as joy through his being flowed

On his face his happiness showed

The lady just couldn't believe her eyes

As the hope in her heart began to rise

"John," she whispered and ran to the gate

Leaving Pearl behind in her haste.

She ran to him as fast as she could

Pearl looked petulant as she stood

Her parents spoke in hushed tones

While their little girl stood all alone.

John wiped the tear that dropped down

Pearl stood looking on with a frown

His wife her scarf around his arm tied

He looked at her sad face as she cried.

She looked up at him and pointed to the girl

To the little one who was his precious pearl.

He turned and grinned and quickly loped

Sprinting down the grassy slope

He knelt down and looked at her face

At her rosy cheeks and the curls out of place

At her pout and her displeased look

Under her chin his finger he hooked.

"Hello Pearl," he said "I missed you

How happy I am to see you."

He swept up the insect from the ground

She gazed at him with eyes round.

She stared at the creature in his hand

That lived in numbers on this land

The grasshopper was in his fist

Pearl leaned forward to give John a kiss.
