Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

There's the Stag Inn (which on Saturday could have been called the Stagger Inn) which seems a canny community oriented pub that sells Black Sheep ale, as well as the village hall where the High Cup Nick registrations and food are, and it has a stage.....
Seems like a perfect storm is brewing....

Ooh. A village hall. Sounds good. I'll find out a contact tomorrow.

We must find a suitable hill too on the way where we'll have to share some of our fell poetry. Now where's my map?...

I've found a number and will give them a bell tomorrow.

The route goes over Little Dun Fell. Maybe that's the spot!

Thoughts

When all thoughts
Are exhausted
I slip into the woods
And gather
A pile of shepherd's purse.

Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
Comes into us at midnight very clean.
It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

Cradle song

Sweet dreams form a shade,
O'er my lovely infants head.
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams,
By happy silent moony beams

Sweet sleep with soft down.
Weave thy brows an infant crown.
Sweet sleep Angel mild,
Hover o'er my happy child.

Sweet smiles in the night,
Hover over my delight.
Sweet smiles Mothers smiles,
All the livelong night beguiles.

Sweet moans, dovelike sighs,
Chase not slumber from thy eyes,
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles,
All the dovelike moans beguiles.

Sleep sleep happy child,
All creation slept and smil'd.
Sleep sleep, happy sleep.
While o'er thee thy mother weep

Sweet babe in thy face,
Holy image I can trace.
Sweet babe once like thee.
Thy maker lay and wept for me

Wept for me for thee for all,
When he was an infant small.
Thou his image ever see.
Heavenly face that smiles on thee,

Smiles on thee on me on all,
Who became an infant small,
Infant smiles are His own smiles,
Heaven & earth to peace beguiles.

William Blake

Goodnight freckle, can't beat an infant smile, pure and untroubled by the mad world

Goodnight freckle, can't beat an infant smile, pure and untroubled by the mad world

Too true mate, too true, night x
