Old Jack
19 July, 2020City Dwellers (Europe)
29 July, 2020Will waters roll for ever over Rasselas
Where Ernie, ponderous as stone
Stared down the golden vale of buttongrass
And winds whip storms above his weathered home
Where friend coo-eed to friend, to make the echoes ring
From range to range
The speckled trout, cold Englishmen, will nose
Under the cherries when the moon is high
And eels entwine in cold embrace
Where bees sang promises of summer mead.
