White Cliffs of Dover – for milo

[Erthona]

White Cliffs of Dover – for milo
 
While I was resting by the shore,
just me and mine and a few more,
though not exciting, or a bore,
as I don't see the White Cliffs of Dover.
 
It's not surprising I've not been,
from here to there and back again,
my family'd think it was a sin,
to waste my gold on White Cliffs of Dover.  
 
It's no surprise I'll never see,
although it's been a dream to me,
to rest out some upon the sea,
while taking in the White Cliffs of Dover.

Note as per Brownlie, I changed L4 of S1 as follows:

"for I see not the White Cliffs of Dover."

to
"as I don't see the White Cliffs of Dover."
