GALES ARE DRIVING WAVES

 

Gales are driving waves

Against the resilient shore,

And pounding

Them on to the rocks,

While on the edge of the wind

There is distant thunder sounding

NARWHALE

 

The narwhale lived year-round

In the Arctic waters around

Greenland, Canada, and Russia

Along with its cousin the Beluga

The narwhale males fished

The waters, and are distinguished

With its long straight helical horn

Like a predatory arctic unicorn

IN THE DEPTHS OF PURPLE CLOUDS

 

In the depths of purple clouds

Soft and temperate as the night

Masks the setting of the sun

And hides the fading of the light 

THE SUN BURSTS THROUGH THE CURTAINS

 

The sun bursts through the curtains

As dawn brings forth another day

And bids us waken from our rest

With every golden warming ray

UP ON THE MOOR

 

Up on the Moor

The birds take flight

On the glorious 12th

They leave the hill

With a bevy of Grouse

The trappings of wealth

IN THE AUTUMN

 

In the Autumn

The shoot is very pleasant

And we end the day

With a bevy of pheasant

ON THE PLANTATION

 

On the plantation

Nothing can be finer

Than a bevy of Quail
