With Soufriere quiet after a year

We took a chance to move back here.

Standing elegantly, I see you in my back yard,

With your sulphur smelling strong

And your ash getting hard

I don’t know when you will fall asleep

Or when hot lava from your belly will leap

For you are a beauty and a beast.

No tears in your memory !

For you have made our name

And given us fame.

And we think you will help our economy !

A museum is ready and waiting for you

I wish scientists could wave goodbye to you

But for now, I will sleep peacefully

Watching you !
