I have not heard the roar of the lion in Kenya
But I have had the roar of the wind in my hair.

I have not heard the gallop of hooves along the edge of the Pacific
But I heard the galloping of hooves along the grassy fields.

I have not heard the singing of the Te Whiti tribe in New Zealand
But I have heard the singing at the inn late at night.

I have not seen the northern lights in Greenland
But I have seen the buzzing street lights in Aberfeldy.

I have not smelt the fresh pizza in Italy
But I have smelt the fresh tulips in Holland.
