What a great poem! I'd never read it before - thanks for posting it Pete.

I love some of the powerful images Enid creates - especially the line 'you try to blow my legs right off the ground' - what a great description! :D
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)
