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...
These are lovely and so atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteI saw a shot on Look North.
A chap sent in pictures of his car windscreen and paintwork, covered in frost doodles.
It was very good.
Thank you! I could have spent all day out there taking shots!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I'm thinking "mists and mellow fruitfulness" thoughts when I see these!
ReplyDeleteHey Scotty! It was a top start to the day. I bet fog and mists look pretty good up your way. Hills make it better but we don't have too many of those where I live!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect series of photos for a booklet of a dreamy pop album. The Cocteau Twins- style maybe.
ReplyDeleteHey Cloudbusting! Are they still going? Maybe I'll send them to them and make the offer!
