Inscription:
In celebration of the lives of Edward Thomas, poet, and Helen his wife.
The glory invites me yet it leaves me scorning
All I can ever do all I can be
But the moment unveiled something unwilling to die
And I had what most I desired
There I find my rest and through the dusk air
Flies what yet lives in me. Beauty is there
Or must I be content with discontent
As larks and swallows are perhaps with wings
I should use as the trees and birds did
A fairy age not to be betrayed
This is my grief. That land,
My home, I have never seen;
No traveller tells of it,
However far he has been.
