August.
August, school days I recall.
Braunstone park football,
Six weeks of holidays
Birds nesting was the craze.
The moat, Kirby Muxloe Castle,
Thoughts of knights in battle,
Fishing nets, sticklebacks,
Badger holes, rabbit traps.
Blood hill, camping on the banks,
Nights and paraffin lamps,
Rooks their early morning call,
Now none of them at all.
Swift and swallows
Kingfishers in holes and hollows,
Bradgate Park, pollarded trees,
Jackdaws and bumble bees.
Lady Jane's home,
That place where peacocks roam,
Groby pool, canadian geese,
Switherland wood, and peace.
