Near Water
Birdsong flung into fond recall
A dry-stone wall,
A dry-stone wall.
Fleecy clouds on this May-time day
Don’t fade away,
Don’t fade away.
Daffodils lean into a wind of change
Begin again,
Begin again.
Pale-blue eyes on a snow drop face
Seen-through lace,
Seen-through lace.
A grassy bank to invest my time
No bells' chime,
No bells' chime.
