Classic and Contemporary Poetry

AUDIERNE by ANTHONY STEELE

First Line: DEEP IN A LAND OF RAGGED FURZE
Last Line: NEAR THE VERY END OF THE WORLD.
DEEP in a land of ragged furze,
Coarse grass and stunted pine,
Of capped and comely women,
Of cider, not of wine,

Like pinioned wraiths of muslin
The cobalt nets hang unfurled,
By the town of little fishes
Near the very end of the world.
