A lofted six over hedge and yew
Umpire gives a knowing sigh
Batsmen rest on this
One and only
Begonia scented day
Third man glances wistfully
Over steeple and hill
We cheered the four
Where jackdaws soar
And lunched till stately tea
The hook over long on
This rural English scene
Of gallant deeds
As rain stopped play
And lasting centuries
