FOXGLOVES

Pink-purple foxgloves

Leaning to the breeze—

And all the sweet of Devon

Sweeps back across the seas:

The deep coombs of Devon

Where the tiny hamlets nest,

The golden sea of Devon

That glimmers toward the west:

The thatched roofs of Devon

To which the soft skies bend—

Now the dear God keep Devon

The same to His world’s end!
