The merchant's house ...



Northern light flooded the merchant's house - 

We looked through the window at the gracious room -

The blue shutters had been opened - 

High backed chairs were placed around a dining table - 

A glowing Persian carpet covered burnished floorboards - 

Wood panelling shone - 


At the rear of the house was a knot garden - 

Sea captains had walked there - 

Stories had been shared of wild seas - 

Golden guineas counted - 

Stange shores remembered -
