Rooted in the centre Of this Great Hall, Solid silence in my head As carpet wall to wall, No ringing footsteps Where my feet are placed, No hurrying scullions Where my body spaced, Only sound of travelling blackbirds And shadows, that cross the light, Draw back to reality Thoughts of royal might, And days of purple and mink, Pheasants feathers, peacocks fans, And roses, dew dropped, pink. If kings and queens Walked these boards Then Ceasars columns once camped here, if cohorts, confused, Mused at antler picks And hammerheads of stone, And wondered at finds of flint, At curving surface of hone, The sight from fortress bill, The safety of this place, Will surely bring another Age Of achievement, and grace. |
