A Bay in Anglesey Lyrics by Madeleine Dring

Five Betjeman Songs

0

The sleepy sound of a tea-time tide
Slaps at the rocks the sun has dried
Too lazy, almost, to sink and lift
Round low peninsulas pink with thrift
The water, enlarging shells and sand
Grows greener emerald out from land
And brown over shadowy shelves below
The waving forests of seaweed show
Here at my feet in the short cliff grass
Are shells, dried bladderwrack, broken glass
Pale blue squills and yellow rock roses
The next low ridge that we climb discloses
One more field for the sheep to graze
While, scarcely seen on this hottest of days
Far to the eastward, over there
Snowdon rises in pearl-grey air
Multiple lark-song, whispering bents
The thymy, turfy and salty scents
And filling in, brimming in, sparkling and free
The sweet susurration of incoming sea
