Half-timbered red brick cottage

That one could overlook

Within these walls so long ago

John Milton wrote his books

His poems spoke of paradise

To lose and then regain

Centuries since have slow unrolled

But moral truths remain

His hero faced his challenges

And walked so many miles

But inspiration surely flowed

Here in Chalfont St Giles.
