Sonnets and Verse

Lift up your hearts in Gumber, laugh the Weald

And you my mother the Valley of Arun sing.

Here am I homeward from my wandering

Here am I homeward and my heart is healed.

You my companions whom the World has tired

Come out to greet me. I have found a face

More beautiful than Gardens; more desired

Than boys in exile love their native place.

Lift up your hearts in Gumber, laugh the Weald

And you most ancient Valley of Arun sing.

Here am I homeward from my wandering,

Here am I homeward and my heart is healed.

If I was thirsty, I have heard a spring.

If I was dusty, I have found a field.
