The wind carried only promise ...

Walking towards the sea along Ballard Down was another cure for melancholy - 

Tender blossoms graced a leafless tree - 

The sky was a flawless blue above the bay - 

A yacht sailed past Old Harry - 

I saw the shadows of rooks cast fleetingly upn a quiet field - 

Catkins were heavy with pollen - 

The wind carried only pollen - 

The wind carried only promise - 

The bright grass held us under heaven -
