Dawlish Poetry

A Poem for Dawlish
 
Bird watching colonels on thr old sea wall,
 
Down here in Dawlish where the slow trains crawl;
 
Low tide lifting, on a shingle shore,
 
Low sunk islands from the sea once more;
 
Red cliffs rising where the wet sands run,
 
Gulls reflecting in the sharp spring sun;
 
Pink-washed plaster by a sheltered patch,
 
IIex shadows on a velvet thatch;
 
What interiors those names suggest!
 
Queen of lodgings in the warm south-west.
 
John Betjeman
