On solstice day I wander through the field And marvel at the meadow-grasses' grace The Yorkshire fog, the timothy, revealed In purple hues and golden spikes of lace.
The cocksfoot and the meadow foxtail sway, In gentle breeze that whispers in my ear. The pendulous sedge nods along the way, As if to greet me with a friendly cheer.
The sweet vernal and crested dog's tail shine With dewdrops that reflect the morning sun, The common bent and red fescue entwine And form a carpet soft to tread upon.
But soon the clouds will gather in the skies And wash away this vision from my eyes.

Alright. Thanks for responding with some research. You’re from Rome, Italy? Gipsi, Gypsy and Gipsy are three variations of same name which means people who explore different lands. 😁🤗

In England the word for Roma people is often spelt Gipsy. If you are interested there are many variations across Europe listed in Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Romani_people
