Where the kingfisher darts the River Stour will flow,with it's great old willows swaying to and fro.
Long slender branches with their leaves deep in water makes these old willows look so much shorter.This lazy river just slowly passing by
with fluffy white clouds dotted in the sky.
This is an artist's landscape or a writer's dream ,
where the river and sunlight reflect the scene.
Around the bend stands another great willow
and a different scene just steals the show.
Dragon fly's swoop above your head and fish stir up the river bed.
A bridge and a mill where life stands still
a place of beauty that doesn't seem real;
yet I have seen this Constable Country
with its aged old willows, along The Stour running free.
Not to forget the church that has stood the test of time,
with a stained glass window made so refine.
With a dedication to a man who's art we love
who now resides in Heaven Above.
Remembering John Constable 1776-1837
A Tribute to a Great Artist.
