First lines
("Stratford-on-Avon")
One warm June evening I sat in the churchyard Of old Trinity. I sat there for hours On an ancient stone, forgetting time.
The Avon, as silent as the centuries it had known, Glided past, carrying me on with its memories.
From the lush meadow across the river came the bleating of lambs, And from the limes floated the song of blackbirds.
