This is profoundly beautiful. As a still lingering “liberaltarian”, creators like you are my only interaction with honest and passionate expression. Everything else seems so fake by comparison. It’s refreshing.
Wonderful poem, Dave! Although I can’t help but feel that an opportunity was missed at line 11: ‘does’ could be replaced with ‘doth’ for great effect. Thank you for writing this.
It does not escape my notice that you can sing this to King's Lynn, like "O God of Earth and Altar."

This is a rather fine poem. I'd be interested in seeing more.
