The Darkling Thrush 31 December, 1990
I leant upon a coppice gate
When frost was spectre-grey,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh

Where I could not follow
With wing of swallow
To gain one glimpse of you ever anon!
Never to bid good-bye,
