Poem 6: The Fountain

Into the sunshine,

Full of the light,

Leaping and leashing

From morn till night!

 

Into the moonlight,

Whiter than snow,

Waving so flower-like

When the winds blow!

 

Into the starlight,

Rushing in spray,

Happy at midnight,

Happy by day!

 

Ever in motion,

Blithesome and cheery.

Still climbing heavenward,

Never aweary

 

Glad of all weathers,

Still seeming best,

Upward or downward,

Motion thy rest; --

 

Full of a nature Nothing can tame,

Changed every moment,

Ever the same; --

 

Ceaseless aspiring,

Ceaseless content,

Darkness or sunshine

Thy element; --

 

Glorious fountain!

Let my heart be

Fresh, changeful, constant,

Upward, like thee!

(James Russell Lowell)

Levelling up secretary confirms government will change levelling up bill after number of Tory MPs tabled rebel amendment Starmer is now taking questions. Q: [Beth Rigby from Sky] When people are struggling with the cost of living, you are talking about constitutional issues. This might look to people as if you are out of touch. Are you talking to Westminster about stuff that won’t happen. What in this will improve people’s lives from day one of a Labour government? When you come to the next election, it may be that the Scottish National party will have a one-line manifesto and want a one-issue general election. But we have done a huge amount of research on Scottish public opinion and people want a better health service immediately, people want living standards improved immediately, people want jobs for young people immediately, people want better housing immediately and people of course want change in the way that we are suggesting immediately. People up and down this country are cryin...
