Remember, Remember
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...
That calms the head better than anything else.
ReplyDeleteBeech are my favourite tree for autumn foliage, walking in beech woodland at this time of year is the best. Unfortunately the storms this week have stripped most of the remaining leaves so that's it until next year. From what I saw of Finland when I visited there are lots of birch, another fabulous autumn colour tree.
