It would always be this moment ...

I saw two swans on the quiet river - 

There were haws like bright beads in the

hedgerows - 

Watchful cows grazed in the fields - 

It was late afternoon - 

It would always be this moment - 

Rooks circling the church tower - 

The bright sunlight falling on the water -
