The White Cliffs

Toes curled around the white sharp edge
Head peering over the steep slope
Down down down falls the cliff
Yet up up up soars my hope

The rippling wind, the crashing waves
White foam against white cliffs- so grand
Furthermore a white sky dropping white snow
A white dress, and a white rose in hand

I've been to France, but I was not in Calais where the White Cliffs can be seen in the distance across La Manche. Good wording and rhyming.
