	Ivy by Ash Leaf Proud Triumph and vain girder Broken walls and ancient stone Brute estate and snapped timber And fallen towers made one Beneath the dark green mantle of ivy's timeless tenure. Under her shade slumber The forgotten dreams, a people Vanished, their hopes long gone. Only green heritage shall remain: dark ivy survives flesh and bone To make the dead wood live again.
