On them lay the summer sun,
two people joined as one,
rays of light fill their hair,
they rest in arms of silent care.

Trees abound, great oaks of strength,
tearful day so long in length,
wood bench seated, overlook a lake,
water ripples a bird awake,
lovers happy on an August day,
peace in the gardens, fear away.

To Kew in the summertime,
feel the tender world in rhyme,
a dream of love, a day out there,
at one with love in Kew you share.

Richard Allen Beevor
