<p>A lane so little trodden it seemed<br />
Few feet could ever find it,<br />
It led me to a little church<br />
With the Weald and Downs behind it.<br />
<br />
So small a church would seem well filled<br />
If twenty folk should pray there,<br />
So quiet a place that God could teach<br />
Even me a prayer to say there.<br />
<br />
Through windows set in massive walls<br />
The April sun was glancing,<br />
Out in the churchyard everywhere<br />
Wild daffodils were dancing<br />
<br />
Like guardian angels of the dead<br />
The happy dead that slept there,<br />
Symbolic of the heavenly spring,<br />
A faithful watch they keep there.<br />
<br />
Lifting gold trumpets to proclaim<br />
The earth’s glad resurrection,<br />
They guard that place of ancient peace<br />
With beauty’s brave protection.<br />
<br />
A shrine of sweet serenity,<br />
Few feet there are that find it,<br />
Remote from busy crowded ways<br />
With daffodils to mind it.<br />
<br />
I shall remember all my life,<br />
(For I was one that found it)<br />
That graveyard green, that little church<br />
And the daffodils around it.<br />
<br />
I shall be glad when I am old<br />
That once I found the way there,<br />
And in my heart kneel down again<br />
With the daffodils, to pray there. <br />

I first went to the Livery Street / Northwood Street bridge for photos before going to the Livery Street entrance and platform 3.<br />
<br />
<br />
So the Shakespeare Express was stationary.<br />
