We humbly beseech
Your Magnanimous Person
To Save our Ancient Woodland.
This Natural Copse,
Known to Henry's Men and Stone Age Man
This Splendid Space
Where once Bear and Wolf and Deer did roam,
This Plantation,
The only home of Endangered Spider,
These Trees,
In the Dominion
Of Royal, and still Magnificent,
Eltham.
We ask that Your Serene
And Powerfull Strength
May keep this Small Acre of England
Forever natural.
This Square of Tree
Will Blossom to Eternity for You.
