st andrews church


  at st Andrews church
      down millhams lane
      the grass grew tall
      twas a real bad pain

      the stream it flowed neath pathway neat
      no one knew twas beneath their feet
      the 15th century church it stands
      with scented flowers well at hand

      the river stour runs nearby
      the stinging nettles
      the blandford fly

      the meadows rich
      the longham lanes
      the church clock tower
      the fancy window panes

      the bell that chimes
      out the hour
      old Gulliver
      the yellow scented meadow flowers

      the modern hall
       that john Moore built
      the purbeck stone
      the seaside silt

      the dartford warbler in the trees
      the landscaped banks
      with bumble bees

      the car park that floods each autumn rain
      the renovation work
      that took place down millhams lane

      the cemetery that stretched
       one time across
      the millham road
      before the cross

      the congregation that sang his praise
      the kinson church
      the history books
      the revolving tomb
      the little bridge
      the hidden room
      the family heritage
       that dates afar
      before the modern home
       or car

      the walks across to the ferndown ridge
      st Andrews church
      look what they did
