WILLIAM’S PSALM
How did the Genius cultivate
His gift? At Arden’s Farm?
What was the secret of his globe?
Anne’s cottage garden charm?
He captivates the day, noon, night –
The sun, earth, stars and moon –
Communicates the sense of sight –
Of smell, taste, touch, and tune.
He feeds the creatures, milks the goat –
He wears the birding glove –
He renders soap from lavender –
He tenders verse from love.
He plants the sweet-peas in the rows –
He wanders in the wood –
Bewonders king, queen, courtier
While sifting base and good.
He travels on the road so much –
How could he leave this town?
Was Stratford-Avon’s atmosphere
The breath of his renoun?
