before

england beautiful runic ing
   how green you must have been
   to those woodsman of germany
      before the angles and crosses -

your dark tracked forests
   pilgrim ways - on a journey
from the sun to the sea
    and the mist and the marsh

         and the upturned tree -
at times you resonate still -
still can the pulse be felt
   on a clear cloudless evening

      as the rookeries cease their squabble
stars rise from the turquoise waves
