On a Sunday morning
The old farmer stands
On the bow of his hill ship
And like Ahab
Surveys his pastures
The Mendip hills in their slate green light
Whose trees stand out like ships on the
horizon
Distant Galleons riding a swell
And a sea of green before them in the fell
He turns back to his gunwale of hedge
And follows it with his dogs out of sight
