True Tranquillity Poem by Ernestine Northover

True Tranquillity

Rating: 5.0


The hills go rolling into the unknown,
Way, way out of view.
As if by an unseen hand they had been thrown,
Into a wide uncharted yonder, new.

A traveller, as he journeys, marches on,
Wandering o'er each tor.
Wishing to remember other days, long gone,
As each tuffet his eager feet explore.

These mounds that over centuries have shaped
Our landscape's varing scene.
With grass these elevations have been draped,
In all the tints, the tones and shades of green.

Unmoving in their grandeur, they stand supreme,
Calm and undisturbed.
Signing the way to many a rambler's dream,
And always looking composed and unperturbed.

Traverse these hillocks, search each hidden way,
From valley floor to peak.
Rise with the dawn and walk o'er soil and clay,
To find the true tranquillity you seek.
