Looking down from such rare and breaking site To watch transparent wings flap the velvet sea Ounces of oceans drained from chalky white cliffs Where grasses took root and flowers windy peep PeeringΒ Β between yellow gorse on Tennison's Downs We children, ran parted the *****, daring the edge To be found, and there stood toes rolled gripping Where grass meets air, the sparkling waters And sailing ships, tugged the sea in mystery.
