Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Photo @ Lake District National Park

Ullswater

It was around mid April
The weather almost fair.
The song of nature calling
Came flowing through the air.

The splendour of the mountains,
Their charm could not resist
And even more enchanting
When shrouded in the mist.

The hues, the shades and fragrance
The glades, the woods and rills
The lake serene and peaceful,
The undulating hills....

The sight – so captivating
How could my heart not melt!
Spiritual and romantic;
I know how Wordsworth felt.
* * * * *
Across the miles I miss the beauty
Of the wealth I left behind,
But at least there are the memories
In the corners of my mind.
