Avant-garde work with ‘clapping’ at the end.

​Poems by John Drinkwater
​
  1. Morning
  2. Full Day
  3. Dusk​
  4. Evensong
  5. Night

​A Sabbath Day, in five watches, paints the scene of a time gone by when chivalrous knights roamed the land and Lancelot and Guinevere still lived and laughed.

John Drinkwater's poems are based upon a walk that he took one day with friends in the Malvern Hills. Each poem has the initials of these friends.

Dedicated to my wife - poet Ingrid Prosser
