Wouldn't you just love to find <br />Ancient treasure left behind? <br />In the ground, a glint of gold <br />Buried there by knights of old. <br /> <br />Wouldn't you just love to hold? <br />A loving cup. Secrets told <br />Among etchings hands combined <br />Of past lovers. Hearts combined. <br /> <br />Wouldn't you just love to touch <br />A stone studded Roman brooch? <br />Once pinned upon the shoulder <br />Of a strong and brave soldier. <br /> <br />Wouldn't you just love to see <br />The Hoard hidden carefully <br />In a farmer's field nearby <br />Dug up by a local guy? <br /> <br />Well, beyond our hedge you'll find <br />Land unchanged since ancient times <br />There's a medieval mound... <br />Surely treasure to be found!<br /><br />Maureen Pickford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-our-hedge/
