I love this one too, how it goes through the seasons
Working in the frosty weather when the stones are stuck togehter Lifting divots, soil and heather as I prise them off the ground And little work is done until the weak and wintery sun Loosens up the icy grip and I can lay me hammer down..
and then, come spring...
Stones taken from the land are warm under the hand
Bok as in one of the trio who sings "John Barleycorn"?
