TRIOLET: EARLY TO ELY

Constantia, he called me in those days–

The far-off days when friendship flower’d freely,

Unchoked by weeds. The name in memory stays . . .

Constantia. He called me in those days

When wonder filled our hearts with songs of praise

To rise at dawn and bicycle to Ely.

Constantia, he called me in those days

The far-off days when friendship flower’d freely.
