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...
A beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteThis was the view from our tent one year in Wales, did you see the face though?
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely place to have a tent, but it is a bit scary to me. I can't see a lot though.
ReplyDeleteI see a dog's face with a long nose, a sleepy eye, bent over ear resting it's head on a paw.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks Ladies! Its so good to get other peoples impressions. I see the face of a woman set in the stone, two eyes and a long straight nose, mouth in shadow. But the nearer rock had not come into it for me, I hadn't seen that :0)
