You are the painter of silence
Yet it is not so silent here
You are here, amongst the branch
Of architecture as environment
I would have liked to sit in silence
With your painting of vases
With your quiet accommodation
Of house and nature, at one in one
Else how could I appreciate
The stillness, the calm
The distinction of a settled peace
Laid out for others to follow
Next we go to the gardens
An English artist from Germany
One of the young British school
Who defected, to make his own mark
Of course there may
Have to be vanilla gelatos
With espressos
Along the way
