Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Chanclebury RingWilfrid Scawen Blunt - Chanclebury Ring
Work rating: Low


Say what you will, there is not in the world A nobler sight than from this upper Down. No rugged landscape here, no beauty hurled From its Creator`s hand as with a frown; But a green plain on which green hills look down Trim as a garden plot. No other hue Can hence be seen, save here and there the brown Of a square fallow, and the horizon`s blue. Dear checker--work of woods, the Sussex Weald! If a name thrills me yet of things of earth, That name is thine. How often I have fled To thy deep hedgerows and embraced each field, Each lag, each pasture,--fields which gave me birth And saw my youth, and which must hold me dead.
