English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice :)
Its hard to believe that this was taken in England. I need to get out more and look around. Lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteA heavenly photo! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreetings All! Thanks Lone Chatelaine, it was a beautiful winters day with the sun hardly rising in the sky at all, I took this late morning.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, this was taken in West Wycombe, Bucks. A beautiful area and great for Red Kite spotting.
Literary Feline, thank you and your welcome. The sun bought out some amazing colours remaining so low in the sky.
