Pilgrims and Poets


In the patchwork land of green and gold
They walked where Chaucer’s tales were told
Across the rambling rustic shires
To raise their eyes to the towering spires
From far flung lands across the sea
From Avalon and Linden Lea
~
Oh mother Church of England fair
In morning mass and evening prayer
Poets take up their pens and quills
And write of blue remembered hills
Ask is there honey still for tea
In Avalon and Linden Lea

I agree with cacian. I liked the line asking if honey is still there.

Is there honey still for tea is the last line from Rupert Brooke’s poem The Old Vicarage, Grantchester I did refer in my poem that the line is not mine by Poets take up their pens and quills etc.
Thank you for reading and your kind comments.

Elegantly written, a lovely poem that bounced along nicely.
