Brigadoon En Québec


At the edge of the Seaway
with beaucoup de tranquilité

midst long hayfields, tawny marshes
anchored deep by ancient rock

peopled by contented tribes
fishers, farmers, and peace-seekers

Québeçois Victorian abodes
harmonious with beguiling sights

overhead vees of snow white geese
hillside surprise of backlit poppies

splendid, technicolored trees
upon stunning gray-white cliffs

beach-trapped, glacial remnants
as beneficent sculptures

and clair de lune in total eclipse
within its resounding silence

star witness to this enchantment
chez le village de Kamouraska.
