It is Midsummer, so here is a rondel written especially for the occasion, and set - where else? - at stonehenge, that ancient site, where every midsummer the druids gather to greet the dawn, and rising of the run.

The sun is rising through the stones
So to Stonehenge, we come to pray
Among those ancient circle stones
A healing place, for weary bones
As here the gods may come to stay
Now the druids chant along this day
