Where Sea and Sky Hold Sway
They gleam and shimmer in the perfect light
of paradise, known to the ancient gods
as hallowed refuge, where the stars at night
pay homage from on high, and from the west
come ocean flower breezes, to a land
where sea and sand and sky hold boundless sway
and pastel multi-hues embrace the day,
where gentle rhythms echo on the shore
and birds exultant in the heavens soar.
These priceless pearls, set in silvered seas,
known to mere mortals as The Hebrides.
