Keyhaven Track
Keyhaven through to Lymington
Along the sandy track
Isle of Wight in outline
Beyond the Needles stacks
Wildfowl in abundance
Across the marshes wide
Avocets and egrets
With waders side by side
Cries of geese wind-carried
Above the bending reeds
As all along the water's edge
The onward path still leads
Grey-green the flowing Solent
Ahead with masts abreast
The waiting yachts and dinghies
For now remain at rest
Journey's end in Lymington
Marina at its heart
And ferry link for islanders
Who live their lives apart.
