Kings Hedges

You were radiant in burgundy

And lilac boa

Beneath the powder blue

All’s well with the world

Summer skies

How the crystal did chime

For the want of a fill

Of sweet white wine

And dusk lapsed into darkness

beneath the glimmering acacia trees

How we scraped and crawled

Through the dog end days of winter

To reach this peak

This Parnassus

Of being good and kind

And here we all are

Lulled in stillness

On an island

In the night
