 the gypsy poet

my dorset


the castle of adventure
      high upon the hill
      the quiet little village
      where is the flowing rivers mill

      the tumbling heather meadows
      the grassy purbeck tracks
      the wayward traveler returns
      a rucksack on his back

      the high point oer the valley
      the twinkling summer nights
      the seaside and the meadows
      the stones of purbeck white

      the harbor and the mainland
      the pottery and the park
      where the dolphins swims at daybreak
      at the singing of the lark

      its the Hardy blooming country
      where the Barnes tall statue stands
      where dorsets tolpuddle martyrs
      once formed a loyal band
      and john the artist painted
      gypsies o so grand

      theres the little commonwealth shaftesbury school
      i view the camp where Lawrence rode
      near the liitle meadow haystacks
      herein lived the wareham miller mad
      the markets and the country folk
      the squires and granddad

      by the lady wimborne cottage
      the dairies sold their milk
      by the cowsheds and the rivers
      where the wandering minstrels made their sounds
      neath grassed walls around
the olde wareham town

      soft down beneath your head
      a flower for your pretty hand
      and garlands for your bed  
      a rose to plant beneath the bough
      and a kiss beneath the leaves
      hear the roaring of the sea
      its a dorset life for me
