The pen and ink sketch was drawn on the day of Princess Diana's funeral. It is of a small jetty, or pier, set out towards a still, almost settled lake.
Stand, step, edge a little further
Step, stand, out into the mist
Stand, step, alone at last
Wait, sit, take out a canvas
Or a notepad, and a pencil
Sit and wait, wait for the moment
When the church bells chime
When heavens seventh wave
Splashes onto the buttress
Land, island, bordered by ocean
Island, land, your one country
Land, island, alive at the last
