Our Featured Poem
The Rivers of England
by Andrew Shiston
Across the flowing green grass hills
Where cold stone walls surround
Built by ancient farmer's hands
Stone taken from the land
Beside them flow the clear cold streams
That are fed from beneath the earth
Fresh water from ancient caverns
From the time of the planets birth
Down through the hills they flow
Over rocks and flowing dales
To villages of ancient limestone
Into old and ancient wells
Flowing down to waterwheels
Turned by the water's flow
Grinding corn beneath the stone
The villagers have grown
They flow past village greens
Under quaint old stone built bridges
Where rampant lions guard stately homes
Perched on old limestone ledges
Then flowing into rivers
Passing fields and forests of trees
Flowing down to busy harbours
Into the cold hard oceans seas.
