Friday Poetry: John Galsworthy

Happy Friday!

My chosen this week is by the English novelist and playwright John Galsworthy (1867-1933).

The Downs

O the Down high to the cool sky;
And the feel of the sun-warmed moss!
And each cardoon, like a full moon
Fairy-spun of the thistle floss;
And the beech-grove, and a wood-dove,
And the trail where the shepherds pass;
And the lark's song, and the wind-song,
And the scent of the parching grass!

John Galsworthy
