From, A Country Diary

Warblington Cemetery

grass overhead

grass ragged like ragged overhead crows

and the air like crows and jackdaws

through the air jackdaws wheeled

wheeled through

wheeled

toppled and weatherworn

toppled graves on graves

and weatherworn and wizened holly placed on

and wizened holly berries had been placed

berries clung to the wreaths that had been

clung to the wreaths

that clung to the wreaths

that clung

amid the dead

amid a blackbird and a blackbird

the dead sprang bloom

and sprang new full bloom

new life in full

life beside

were in beside the daffodils

were the kissing gate daffodils

kissing gate

kissing gate

kissing
