In the sky a bird was heard to cry.

Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sound

Belied a deathly silence that lay all around.

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.

Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon,

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city doom.
