CLAIR de LUNE
There she goes,
following me again...
Across the cropped corn
and over the high trees.
My harvest queen,
her footsteps make no din.
At the turn of the year
with the sheaves gathered in...

THE DAWN CHORUS
Such a fuss,
coming home from the cotton town,
and the birds singing a hymn
as ancient as
Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
As I listen,
I can just make out
the words of Jerusalem.
Strange,
how alcohol can play tricks
on this solstice night;
as the birds bring in the dawn,
and it's
getting light...

THE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER ASH
We'll go by the Circle line
Incognito at the afternoon's close.
I'll take with me the Evening Standard
And buy you a pink rose.
It'll be fun again
Me and you out on the lash.
And we'll sing again our drinking songs
On the bridge over the river Ash.

TO THE LEFT OF THE MOON
Yes,
to the left,
but be there on the stroke of
midnight.
And so we met,
for the first time,
on the east side of the silvery
moon.
I'd read about you,
since childhood:
the frozen queen dressed in
turquosise.
And now,
there you were,
quiet, unassuming,
making no fuss...
Finally,
from the icy hinterlands,
the mysterious and beautiful,
Uranus...
