​​​​​​​​​​Turquoise jewel a-flashing

'Neath golden bridge of stone

A fleeting glimpse just captured

By walker stood alone

A dart of technicolour

A gem of shimm'ring light

Skimming 'cross the water

With colours sparkling bright

Kingfisher busy fishing

In Avon's gentle flow

Providing for the watcher

An early morning show.
