Please can anybody identify the book which contains the verse below ?
It's about owls and Mrs fB lost her copy years ago and can't remember the title etc.
"Did you see the years roll by
As you lay dying ? Did the joys
And sorrows of so long ago
Drift past you like the driven snow?"

Thank you
Charlie

This was a sort of 'Watership Down' talking animals book.
Much obliged anyway.
Charlie.

Martin Hocke - 1989 - Snippet view - More editions

'Did you see the years roll by As you lay dying? Did the joys And sorrows of so long ago Drift past you like the driven snow? Did you hear time heave And see the ebb and flow Of brief untidy lives That interrupt eternity? I like to think you did ...
Keep following links and you can probably even find a library near you that has it.
