We walked along uninterrupted lanes

Under the shade of leafy trees 

Guessing at the form of the land

Screened from burning light of sun.

Our vistas suddenly were revealed

A lonely painter sat on a hill

Partitioning canvas with dark runes

Wild flowers rampaged at our feet.

That perfect day of English sun

Revealed a cornucopia of beatitudes

We witnessed weddings in the sun

Frayed our way through undergrowth

Eat ice creams at the Hellfire Club

And wandered up a steep hill home.
