V. T. Allsop Poems

Before you part for overseas
I hold you for a while
Moments will my heart appease
As you leave this fair isle
...

Beyond the well nurtured lawns
Kings appealing splendour is seen
Emerging from the grey misty dawns
such attraction reigns supreme
...

This hurly burly life cannot compete
With natures charms matchless and sweet
Seasons are profoundly fleeting
Encapturing beauty by staying awhile
...
