IN REMEMBRANCE OF ENGLAND, by                    
First Line: Of fabled castles england has her share
Last Line: And known that peace can never come too soon.
Subject(s): England; English


Of fabled castles, England has her share.
Her lingering twilights still an ancient wrong;
Old England's filled with quaint and quiet places
Where famous bards have been inspired to song.
The English love their gentle winding rivers
And gardens meant for quietude and shade --
Geraniums, alyssum, blue lobelias;
These people know why spreading trees were made.
I've watched the sun come up out of the ocean
And spread her glories at Southampton's feet;
Time-honored London's unexpected vistas
Spread open from a narrow cobbled street.
I've stood alone in dim cathedral gloom
And known that peace can never come too soon.
