Memory of Holland
Thinking of Holland
I see broad rivers
Slow and never ending
flowing through the lowlands,
lined with long rows
of proud and thin poplars
like the tall plumes of a hat
and in the sunken space, magnificent;
the sprawling farms
scattered throughout the country,
surrounded by clusters of trees,
villages with knotted towers,
ancient churches and elms,
in a broad alliance.
the sky there hangs low,
and sun is slowly being smothered
in grey multicoloured dampness.
and in all corners
of the land,
is apparent the voice of the water,
with a constant loom of disaster,
feared and heard
by all.
