Legend

Grey, ancient abbeys, you may see them yet,

In that high plain above the western sea:

A broken arch or two, a few worn stones

Piled one upon another, and for paving

Uneven fragments with tall grass between:

Grass that is always green, winter and summer,

The grass that grows on long-forgotten graves.

It was a springtime morning long ago,

A morning of blue skies and whitest clouds,
