Villagers in Tyneham, Dorset, received notice in November 1943 that their village was to be used to train soldiers in the use of new weaponry. They had to leave by December 19th. They were promised that when peace was won, that they would be allowed back to their village. The population of Tyneham (Census 2001) was given as zero.

Just on the down side of up she rests,
in woods, amongst ransome and wild chives.

so that it might become an heirloom in your keeping

I sat upon a bench today, hard against a wild hedge
and looked with awe as the sun rode on a dark indigo ledge.
