sir john betjeman – upper lambourne lyrics
up the ash tree climbs the ivy
up the ivy climbs the sun
with a twenty+thousand pattering
has a valley breeze begun
feathery ash, neglected elder
shift the shade and make it run +
shift the shade toward the nettles
and the nettles set it free
to streak the stained carrara headstone
where, in nineteen+twenty+three
he who trained a hundred winners
paid the final entrance fee
leathery limbs of upper lambourne
leathery skin from sun and wind
leathery breeches, spreading stables
shining saddles left behind +
to the down the string of horses
moving out of sight and mind
feathery ash in leathery lambourne
waves above the s+rs+n stone
and edwardian plantations
so coniferously moan
as to make the swelling downland
far surrounding, seem their own
