    ‘Tall Nettles’ by Edward Thomas

    Tall nettles cover up, as they have done
    These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough
    Long worn out, and the roller made of stone:
    Only the elm butt tops the nettles now.

    This corner of the farmyard I like most:
    As well as any bloom upon a flower
    I like the dust on the nettles, never lost
    Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.

    Thanks Harry, nice to see a bit of poetry.

    Poetry and cricket are well suited, in my opinion.
