My daffodil, my leek, my love

My asphodel, she-dragon, you

Are green of all below, above

Including Eistedfoddau too


When, coming up inside the lift

Leaving the coalface for the day

I set my cares and woe adrift

And after showering I’m on my way

And we will never never part

I brought a gift, my love, my soul:

A couple of hundred weight of coal!

Richly Loved

We’ll see the pains grow less

The rough skin disappear once more

Till, free and fit, you may address...

Hair Wash

I looked in, saw you washing your hair,

Kneeling, turning head side to side

To catch the shower jets...
