The City from Primrose Hill

(Extensive views across the City of London from the top of Primrose Hill)

We climbed the slopes of Primrose Hill

to stand beneath a grey cloud sky.

Rich autumn hues and city views,

St Paul's, the Shard, the London Eye.

Atop this summit clearly seen,

a stretch of green where people sit

to picnic on warm summer days,

where birds in trees will sing and flit.

No finer panoramic scene

when sun broke through to smile on us,

as if to say we are amused,

its golden glow an added plus.

And did you know that Blake once said

he had conversed there with the sun?

On Primrose Hill, he felt the thrill,

its spirit spoke while he stood dazed,

enchanted by the wealth it spun.

I loved these words. You are right. We are lucky to be able to share a view, once seen by the ancient writer and people before us. The wonderful description made the reader see too. Thank you Chris for sharing the amazing poetry.

Beautiful, enchanting and descriptive. Awe-inspiring to see, feel and experience those magical places. Fine take and write. I take away many things.

Thank you Sami. It was breathtaking and I can perfectly understand why Blake found it so, even before the Shard and the London Eye were built. Many thanks

I just saw pics of it on google. If it inspires a great man like him, it is inspiring. You are welcome.
