Christmas down in Watchet

Beneath a mackerel sky

Waves against the harbour walls -

Above the gulls' harsh cry

Boats out in the Channel

Across the Minehead Bay

Mist obscures the outline

Of Exmoor far away

Coleridge not forgotten

His gift a nation's loss

The mariner stands silent

Still linked with albatross.
