Purbeck

My soul has homeland in the Purbeck Isle

Unforgotten paths from childhood

Remain my loved companions

Shared many times with sure father’s hand

Redundant was the need for our conversation

But more we pointed overland to views

Or sightings of birds of prey

Hovering in the moody sky aloft

Cliffs tower like sea cathedrals

Inland oft feet made pilgrimage

Up to the spires on Jurassic Coast

Limestone white into far distance

Many vistas ruled still by Corfe Castle

That majestic ruin plagued by treachery

Where still sheep graze it’s mound

Home there before the Saxon days

My soul has homeland in the Purbeck Isle

Native now returned to hills my father chose

Other scenes have pleased my eye

None other gives me such repose
