To look out across the sea
And ponder on some distant place
That often calls to me.

Then to see the emerging stars on high
One by one they twinkle in their
Allocated place in the sky.

I feel full of wonder of life’s mystery
And contemplate on the vastness of the
Universe while standing here by the sea.

And yet I know that in some
Distant place within my heart
That this England is my Earthly home.
