Adlestrop

by Edward Thomas

“Adlestrop” is a short, lyrical poem by Edward Thomas, renowned for its evocative portrayal of a fleeting moment of tranquility amidst a bustling train journey. The speaker, travelling through the English countryside, is struck by the stillness of the village of Adlestrop, where a single, solitary bird sings. The poem captures the essence of the rural idyll, highlighting the contrast between the fast-paced world of the train and the timeless serenity of nature.
