Robin Hoods Bay Poem by Paul Reed

The dreary sky belied your charms
As we cautiously stepped that day
Into the warm embrace of your open arms
Down the path and along the bay;

At last we found you there
Waiting, sleeping, hidden for so long
A forgotten Friday, hung in the air
Over the secret place where you belong;

Where waves have crashed and gently foamed
Against your slopes and cliffs severe
With hopes held tight we fondly roamed
We finally found ourselves here.
