From the recording Where Hope Was Sown
Graceful, lithe and delicate,
So still and statuesque:
Peewits, poised and elegant,
Compose their arabesque
To St Cecilia’s sweet call
O’er the cool, lulling waves:
A breathtaking, flightless dance.
Pond reeds reaching up tall
In the mirrored waters, gaze
Upon this timeless stance.
