Harrison Park

Our local park - Harrison Park - is starting to look properly Autumnal ...

... and thus; here's a favourite Walter Savage Landor poem:


Mild is the Parting Year

Mild is the parting year, and sweet
The odour of the falling spray;
Life passes on more rudely fleet,
And balmless is its closing day.

I wait its close, I court its gloom,
But mourn that never must there fall
Or on my breast or on my tomb
The tear that would have soothed it all.

Walter Savage Landor (1775 – 1864)
