A Tale

________________________________________________
Title:     A Tale
Author: Edward Thomas [More Titles by Thomas]

THERE once the walls
Of the ruined cottage stood.
The periwinkle crawls
With flowers in its hair into the wood.

In flowerless hours
Never will the bank fail,
With everlasting flowers
On fragments of blue plates, to tell the tale.

[The end]
Edward Thomas's poem: Tale
