Lawrence Hall, HSG
My Grandfather’s Hayfield
From my own fields I can hear the band
The high school marching band, oom-pah, oom-pah
From several miles away, with merry songs
and merry cheers around the homecoming bonfire
That was my grandfather’s hayfield in my youth
Before the town and school replaced the past
The shaking baling machine compressing grass
Where the team captain gives his whup ‘em speech
I found a terrapin where the cheerleaders dance
From my own fields I can see my youth
