Whispering Grass by Dawn

Whispering Grass

Whisper Grass written by Fred Fisher and his Daughter Doris recorded by Erskine Hawkins and his Orchestra 1940.
1975 became a no1 in the UK for Windsor Davis and Don Estelle in a sitcom It aint half hot mum.

Why do you whisper green grass
Why do you tell the trees what aint so
whispering grass , the trees dont have to know no no.
Why tell them all your secrets
Who kissed thee long ago
whispering grass the trees dont have to know

Dont tell it to the trees
she will tell the birds and bees
and everyone will know
because you told the blabbering trees
yes you told them once before its no secret anymore
Why tell them all the old things
theyre buried under the snow
whispering grass, dont tell the trees `cause the trees dont have to know.
A lovel poem that has deep meaning. And I love the sense movement you gave achieved. Fav

I'm not a bit familiar with the sitcom but I love this photo. It has a fantastic composition with diagonal lines and do you have captured the motion of the wind in the grasses beautifully. FAV.
