Burst of Sunshine Gleaming Teapot
Grandfathers deep English voice joined hers in prayers
Apple trees shimmering in the sunlight beside the water
Crumpled apricot roses tumbled above the interlaced arch
The mistress of the house wore a necklace of black pearls
Attends every afternoon for tiny cakes and fine Ceylon teas
Full evening dress, frothing swell of linen and velvet bodice
Painting roses and rosebuds, petal by petal with dewdrops
Delicate tweeting of finches Dainty wings flittering to and fro
Precious secrets of a painters art the canvas would not yeild
Tailored black suit with a faint chalk stripe,double breasted
Rows of silver buttons stamped with lions , deep grey eyes
