Farewell Fenland!


Farewell Fenland!

Farewell dark brooding fenland
With your family tomb amid poplars green
Your octagonal lantern bright, shining through
The mystical black-fen night.

Farewell to my flat-land-zone
Where ghosts traverse
Through the misty peaty levels
Across vast canals and open reedy rivers.

Liked this very much, felt it was me. Loved the photo of Ely cathedral.
