The hole hedged with people of the country
Is delved to reveal secret of gentry ;
Strangers have come with a task of sentry
To excavate phratries from the clay dry ;
Wintry feelings are gone, but ice appears
From suspended earth, and wood the dig bears
Underneath a former brisk horse - it nears
The true state of past that could now bring tears.
Under a blue sky, before the coming
Of a fresh breeze, wheels will arrive soon ;
Work is done and it is time for leaving,
Strangers will go back home, taking each spoon
They imported - and even more. Ending ?
Not yet ! Because local peoples will change
Habits and lose memory. That is strange !
