A late collection of short lyrics, opening on the Sussex Downs with the weald spread out like a kingdom below and moving through an August night in the woods, mountain water, Tintagel and a sequence of autumn pictures. The poems are quieter and darker than her earlier love songs, often turning to solitude and the thought of evenings that will go on without her.
