A Place Of Solitude Poem by Ernestine Northover

A Place Of Solitude

Rating: 4.6


Look out across the windswept hills,
With rainbow hues, with misty blues,
Across the valleys, lakes and rills,
Where landscapes fuse, where eyes peruse,
And rest upon that quaint cottage small,
Tall chimney stack, with smoke of black.
A place of solitude from any squall.
That winding track, that calls you back,
To rest from ills,
To sit and muse.
With thoughts to trawl
With a homing tack.

Dear Ernestine You have something very beautiful here for all of us. All The Best, and as Doc Wilde say's Blue Skies and Green lights.
