This is excellent - good rhythm and rhyme with a smooth flow.

You have described the imagery so well that I can almost visualise the scene in that beautiful countryside.

The last stanza is also very poignant, particularly the last 2 lines. We never appreciate such things until we no longer have them.

Much enjoyed.
