On the briar and hawthorn,

Quiet air in the valley.

Rush and roar of wind over the grey hills.

Hedges cut along one side of the lane —

The other side —

brazen shoots of hazel jostled by the wind

Stray leaves, gold and round, catch the sunshine.

Wild star night.

Shadow misted woods.

White sky.
