|
I wandered far onto the lonely moors |
|
Sparse coarse tufts of grass reached out to trip me |
|
And above my head the leaden clouds hung low |
|
As I turned my face into the wind |
|
I huddled close against a tumbling wall |
|
Wrapped in a cloak to shield me from the bitter cold |
|
The solitude weighed heavy on my mind |
|
As I turned my face into the wind |
|
The mist rolled down across the countryside |
|
I thought I heard the coastal sirens sound |
|
As I turned my face into the wind |
|
I tried to peer into the deepening gloom |
|
To glimpse a lighted window in the distance |
|
But just too far to penetrate the rain |
|
And I turned my face into the wind |
|
And yet somehow I sensed her presence near |
|
And tufts of sheeps-wool hanging from a gorse bush |
|
Were as though her hands were beckoning me home |
|
And I turned my face into the wind |
