Chesil Beach (for three voices)
Waves crash on the shore
Behind the bank
Pebbles roll back to the sea
a heron stands and
Waves crash on the shore
waits for a fish
Pebbles roll back to the sea
in the reeds at
Waves crash on the shore
the edge of the ley.
Pebbles roll back to the sea
The wind is gentle
Waves crash on the shore
in the lee of the
Pebbles roll back to the sea
shingle.
Waves crash on the shore
Small waves scuttle
Pebbles roll back to the sea
along the still water.
Waves crash on the shore
Out in the wind
Pebbles roll back to the sea
and the spray
Waves crash on the shore
thundering
Pebbles roll back to the sea
inching their way to Portand.
